Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

This will only lead to one consequence: the strong states will become stronger, and the weak states will become weaker.

This is actually part of the federal constitution.

The problem is that an 18th-century constitution is completely unsuitable for 21st-century interpretation. In this day and age, the federal government's financial support to the states, ranging from 30% to 45%, is almost entirely in the form of transfer payments.

California, Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania—these large, populous, and powerful states will increasingly become local kingdoms, allowing political heavyweights to rapidly grow in power.

Meanwhile, weak states like Oklahoma, Montana, and Dakota, which have sparse populations, no heavy industry, and no access to the sea, can only hide in the countryside and watch the strong states fight it out.

……

The whole world was overjoyed that day.

First, in the morning, Li Xinghe razed Yokota Base, disrupting the US military's containment efforts.

Then, in the afternoon, Li Xinghe's black screen conversation with his mistress fueled the trending topic of "Li Xinghe wants to marry Yui Aragaki," revealing the playboy nature of the young master Li.

That evening, news broke that Trump had fled Mar-a-Lago, hastily boarding a plane to escape, his destination unknown. Amid the shadow of the day's US debt crisis, this news quickly became a major breaking point, threatening Vance's already precarious rule.

That day, everyone was too busy eating melon seeds to enjoy the show.

They're simply too busy to keep up.

Trump's escape to Cuba has shocked the American press.

The media is already discussing Vance's fate:

Will Vance be the next Yin Xiyue?

Will Vance be the first US president to be impeached and imprisoned?

Enraged, Vance ordered a raid on the news department.

We must strike hard against news media that are not afraid of the president!

The end of electoral democracy is dictatorship, and Taiwan and South Korea have already demonstrated the final results at different stages.

One attempted a coup, the other a green terror.

The local areas, however, present a completely different scene.

After returning to California politics, Newsom couldn't wait to launch a "separate diplomacy" plan in the state legislature, aiming to create California's own tariff and import laws, practically slapping the words "pro-communist" on his forehead.

Republican media outlets also ridiculed Newsom in this way:

Newsom must be thinking: I can talk, I can be pro-China.

Meanwhile, in the fields, the Magas finally learned of Trump's safe escape and saw through the dark nature of Vance's dictatorship.

Mages across America, stand up and defend President Trump!

Chapter 733: Airport King Trump, CCP Spy Li Xinghe (5000 words)

The special operations team and the Trump family arrived at the port of Palm Beach and, following intelligence guidance, quickly boarded a speedboat bound for the Bahamas.

"You've made such thorough preparations."

The Trump family is still thanking what they consider to be 'Japanese'.

In reality, the CIA had arranged everything.

They not only borrowed Li Xinghe's elite special forces, but also mobilized 6 of Trump's staunch supporters in Florida, who clashed with Florida's military and police, controlled by the Libertarian Caucus, in the suburbs. This drew away most of the military and police's attention, which led to the C-17 transport parachute jump and the successful takedown of Trump.

As he boarded a small boat, Trump looked back affectionately at the beach coast, Miami and Palm Beach bathed in tropical sunshine.

"My Florida..."

Trump has no idea how many years he has left at 83, nor when he will be able to return to this watery land and his beloved Mar-a-Lago estate.

When the commando team headed to the Republic of the Bahamas, the CIA had already sent out the agent signal to 'rescue Trump'.

In an instant, from Florida to Mississippi, from Oklahoma to Kentucky, from Indiana to Arkansas, across the United States, right-wing populist supporters could no longer contain themselves. Incited by agents of the CIA and FBI, they began storming local city governments and city councils, and even seizing police stations and civil affairs offices, attempting to raise the banner of establishing a regime.

The chaos that is hard for the Chinese to believe, but is already quite common for Americans, has begun again.

Hundreds of thousands of Magas took to the streets armed to protect Trump.

Even He Yang, who's currently running away with Trump, doesn't understand why Maga, knowing Trump is an extremely unreliable idiot, still supports him after all he's done. Mei has time, Lin Zaizai, where are you...?

The answer is actually quite simple.

Because supporting Trump is not the cause, but the result.

It was because the American upper class and global elites betrayed and abandoned these lower and middle-class white Americans first. After accumulating anger and unending pain for forty years, in the 2016 Democratic and Republican elections, seeing that the Democrats were not turning back, these white Americans finally broke down (a considerable portion of whom were left-wing populists) and turned to right-wing populism.

In other words, Trump's statement, "Even if he killed someone on Fifth Avenue, the MAGAs would still support him," is true. It's because Trump is a window for these people to vent their emotions, not because they necessarily need him to achieve any specific goal. As long as Trump continues to steadfastly chant "Make America Great Again," his supporters will remain forever.

For these people, Trump is the embodiment of their ongoing resistance.

But Trump is also an extremely unreliable, incompetent, foolish, short-sighted, and incapable person.

His political maneuvering was rather rudimentary, his governing philosophy was chaotic and disorderly, he often wanted to have it all, and he repeatedly made mistakes for personal gain. Although he looked down on Chiang Kai-shek, compared to Trump, Chiang Kai-shek was clearly more than just slightly better.

Therefore, in each struggle, the favorable situation that Trump has built up is always stolen by others.

Just like right now.

The most ruthless in the power struggles across the country was naturally the CIA, which launched the first attack, followed by the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and other powerful local agencies.

The extreme emotions of these people have now become a torrent of powerful entities using their own names to go public.

The CIA and other agencies have been continuously pushing their informants into the Maga organization, and many of them have become local leaders. Now, the Mexican smuggling war has caused chaos on the border, and the easy access to drugs and various supplies has given local militias an economic incentive to participate in the smuggling trade.

The news that Trump had escaped house arrest became an excuse for right-wing groups to rise up again.

"The whole country is red, and the world still belongs to Lord Te!"

Smoke signals filled the air, and gunfire echoed across the vast land of America.

Some stormed the state legislature, attempting to kidnap lawmakers; some murdered police officers and seized police stations; some assassinated large company owners in the street; some went on a shopping spree for free in stores; some elderly women were in nursing homes. The whole of America entered a state of unimaginable madness.

Just as the die-hard Maga militia, staunch supporters of Trump, were engaged in fierce fighting in the United States, with media around the world paying close attention and everyone tacitly referring to this one-day struggle as "Vance's 24 Hours," the Trump family finally landed in the Bahamas and urgently took a commercial flight to Cuba.

Havana, José Martí International Airport.

As soon as Trump got off the plane, he hurriedly inquired about his Trump business empire, which he had established in New York and throughout the United States.

The result was, of course, heartbreaking.

With Donald Trump under house arrest and Donald Trump Jr. failing to fulfill his role as vice president and nearly becoming a prisoner, Trump's business empire will naturally also come to an end.

"My stocks! My Mar-a-Lago! My business! Ahhhhhh..."

Faced with the devastating collapse of his family business, the forced seizure of Trump Tower, the default on pledged stocks, and the bankruptcy of the company he founded, Trump was devastated.

The 83-year-old man slumped on the airport floor like a big fat pig, looking dazed and confused, like a deflated balloon.

A heart weighing 205 pounds was gently broken.

The hundreds of billions of dollars that Trump and his family painstakingly amassed wealth globally, at the cost of national pension funds and the destruction of trillions of dollars in the stock market, are now crumbling along with the weakening of the Trump family.

Trump has lost a lot of money.

Trump's soul seemed to explode along with the collapse of his family business.

Donald Trump Jr. was terrified; having made a disgrace to his political career, all he wanted to do was run away.

"Should we go to Tokyo instead? Kai is in Tokyo."

Trump's increasingly severe dementia is beginning to affect his IQ, as evidenced by his tantrums and outbursts on the floor.

"No! I won't go! I want to stay in America, on my Gulf Coast!"

He at least knew that if you leave the center of power, power will leave you.

Trump's headquarters were set up in the lounge of Terminal 2 at José Martí International Airport in Cuba. The Trump family began to compete with airport staff and passing tourists for the limited rest space, and even occupied other people's toilets as changing rooms and dressing rooms. Arguing with tourists became a daily occurrence for the Trump family.

Trump, however, stubbornly remained seated at the terminal security desk, insisting on handling his own political affairs.

This is his new Mar-a-Lago estate, his new White House, and his new Oval Office.

Everyone who sees this has to say something:

This sabbey is insane.

Is it a bit too absurd that a former US president would be reduced to needing to rebuild his rule in an airport terminal in a socialist country?

Seeing this, the whole world couldn't hold back anymore.

Many newspapers criticized:

"Who has ever seen an airport emperor?"

This bizarre situation bears some resemblance to certain child prodigies from Tongliao who have built their own nations on small islands or farms. But considering that Trump will likely remain the most talked-about figure in Tongliao after his death, perhaps this is a case of different paths leading to the same destination in the Tongliao universe?

In short, not only Li Xinghe couldn't hold back, but even the Republican bigwigs who were engaged in fierce infighting in the United States couldn't stand it anymore.

In the midst of the fighting, they proposed:

"Can you take this old man to Tokyo?"

"Please, don't embarrass yourself at someone else's airport. Why don't you go to Guantanamo? At least it's secluded there, you can embarrass yourself however you want."

Of course, I won't go.

What kind of place is Guantanamo? Do they think the Trump family are fools?

Once you're in, you think you can get out?

The political leaders behind the scenes gave Trump advice:

"A group of militiamen who are absolutely loyal to Trump could be appointed to serve as guards at Guantanamo, and the Guantanamo military and police could be appointed to provide His Excellency Trump with the treatment due to a former president."

After multiple agreements, Trump was finally spared further embarrassment in Havana and was invited to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

Guantanamo Bay prison was also puzzled by the suddenness of the incident, wondering how a retired emperor had suddenly ended up here.

They had no choice but to hastily execute a group of serious criminals to free up a building for the Trump family. The process was extremely rushed; the empty building was littered with bloodstains, human hair, and scattered clothing—it looked like a scene from Silent Hill or some kind of horror game.

The Trump family moved from Havana to Guantanamo and established their government there.

Trump went from being an airport emperor to a prison emperor.

……

Faced with the chaotic situation and the fact that the twenty-eight rebel kings were causing trouble everywhere, Vance had lost all interest in hurling insults.

He asked numbly:

"What is Li Xinghe doing right now?!"

The consultant replied:

"Report! Li is currently troubled by a scandal involving a female TV star and is refusing to see anyone."

In reality, Li Xinghe was hiding in different safe havens, indulging in pleasure with his wives. His avoidance of the media was clearly to avoid explaining the background of the television scandal, and also to avoid revealing whether he intended to marry Yui Aragaki. As for such a momentous historical event as the dismantling of the Yokota Air Base, Li Xinghe certainly hoped for extensive media coverage!

The advisors were merely trying to save face by offering Vance a somewhat plausible angle for self-comfort.

Vance was so enraged that his beard trembled.

"Everyone's waiting for the national debt to collapse, everyone's stalling for time, everyone's causing me trouble... Is the United States of America about to gradually regress to the Confederate era?"

The 10 trillion yuan in national debt, plus the 12 trillion yuan in national debt maturing in the second half of the year, totals 22 trillion yuan in debt swap space. This is not as simple as just exchanging them one-to-one.

It's important to understand that the interest rate on national debt is already very close to that of usury. If it were to be replaced at the current 5% interest rate, it would mean an additional $1.1 trillion in national debt interest payments over the next 5-10 years. The United States' current fiscal revenue is only a few trillion dollars; can it afford such a huge amount of interest?

The bigger problem is that if no investors buy the issued government bonds, the Federal Reserve must bail them out. That means it's not foreigners or investment institutions bearing the burden, but rather the Federal Reserve simply transferring money from one pocket to another.

The result is that the massive amount of government debt swapped is equivalent to printing money out of thin air, which will inevitably lead to further increases in prices.

To appease the public who were on the verge of collapse, Vance had to do something. So he no longer dared to hope to force Lee Sung-ha to spend money to buy the debt with Japan and South Korea. He only asked Congress to give him a fiscal space of "unlimited borrowing for a period of time" or at least "an additional 10 trillion yen in borrowing".

This means that $32 trillion in US Treasury bonds will be replaced and newly issued this year.

He couldn't care less about how high inflation would rise after so much US debt was dumped; Vance was too preoccupied with other matters.

Otherwise, with only $60 billion in the Treasury’s TGA account, what can the new president do in the next four years?

No matter how hard he tried, Vance couldn't find even a sliver of a winning edge on this longest day, so he could only try to compensate in his most triumphant areas:

What about the Mexican War?

"We can't find the drug lords...and..."

Even the advisors dared not speak up.
