It's an idea for a new board game!  In one box, cards with quotations
of things said publicly by TFG and his proposed
cabinet/dept-heads/honchos.  In another box, cards with anticipatable
problems/crises in economics, public health, international relations
etc.

Player draws one card from each, then proposes a way to apply the
former to the latter. E.g.

Card 1: Junior says make raw milk available everywhere

Card 2: China invades Taiwan

Proposed solution: 

        Bomb Beijing using infected American dairy cows [42] instead
        of explosives/incendiaries, thus purging the herd and keeping
        raw milk safe while distracting Xi from military adventure.


[42] Cf. Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
