LOS ANGELES—During a recent Trump China visit, President Donald J. Trump officially declared all existing global problems “settled.” The announcement came on the final day of his summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Trump exited the meeting beaming. He informed reporters that complex international issues were now “done.” The President provided no specific details. He simply stated that “a lot of problems” were definitively resolved.
A New Era of Unproblematic Existence
The declaration sent shockwaves through the global diplomatic community. Many diplomats were reportedly confused. Others began immediately clearing out their desks. Dr. Agnes Periwinkle, Chief Curator of Global Crises at the Smithsonian Institute of Abstract Concepts, expressed her astonishment. “We have genuinely run out of problems,” she stated from an eerily silent exhibition hall. “Our conflict resolution exhibits are now just empty rooms. We might pivot to chronic hangnails research.”
Experts struggled to identify the specific problems Trump referenced. They also wondered how these issues were resolved. The President offered no clarification. He indicated only that the solutions were “very good” and “everyone agreed.” The immediate impact was profound. Stock markets briefly surged. Then they fell again as investors realized there was nothing left to worry about.
Unemployment for Problem Solvers
The United Nations’ Department of Solved Issues faced an existential crisis. Its entire mandate disappeared overnight. “This is unprecedented,” said Kevin Blipsy, a 30-year veteran problem-solver for the department. His office was packed with boxes marked “Obsolete.” “My department’s budget was immediately reallocated. We are now researching the best way to fold fitted sheets. The global peace and justice initiatives are, apparently, complete.”
Humanitarian aid organizations paused their operations. They awaited further instructions. Many wondered if they should simply go home. News anchors struggled to fill airtime. They found themselves without any pressing international crises to report. Analysts suggested the world might now focus on truly important matters. These include optimizing coffee brewing techniques. Or perhaps the optimal dog walking routes. The era of the “Trump China problems settled” declaration had begun.
At press time, world leaders universally agreed to finally learn the Macarena.
