In a project that’s being branded as the political equivalent of a Sasha Baron Cohen film, President Joseph R. Biden has unveiled his latest venture: “Biden’s Dollar Store” in the heart of Beijing, China. The move, many speculate, is an attempt to solidify Sino-American relations by flooding the Asian market with inexpensive, made-in-America products such as “Harris Hammers,” and “Pelosi Paper Towels." The grand opening left both the U.S. and China equally flabbergasted. The White House Correspondents Association reportedly sent out a group email to all members advising they drink heavily before covering the story. Meanwhile, Chinese journalists are debating on whether the event was a carefully orchestrated, comedic jab or a display of unexpected capitalist enthusiasm from the Biden administration. The first on the shelves of this bizarre dollar store venture? Hundreds of boxes of specially manufactured "Biden Ballpoint Pens," emblazoned with the slogan “Let’s Write the Future Together.” The pens began selling like hotcakes, successfully causing a fervor among the local populace who, we're told, are quite amused by this 'funny American joke.' In an impromptu fashion, President Biden personally manned the cashier desk for a brief period, giving customers 'presidential discount' and signing autographs with the top-selling 'Biden Ballpoint Pens.' One customer reportedly asked Biden if he was indeed the actual president, to which Biden winked and replied, “In the flesh and a dollar less.” Back home though, the treasure-trove of late-night comedians and satirists are having a field day, thanking the heavens for dropping such an amusingly material into their comedy-starved laps. Even Fox News has been seen chuckling, with one anchor quipping, "Job creation, I guess?" Even as the novelty of the idea wears off, the “Biden Dollar Store” shows no sign of closing. Economists are split on whether this is a stroke of genius, a political disaster, or just an elaborate ruse for Biden to unload his collection of Dollar Store products taking up space in his basement. The illustrious Republican Senator Ted Cruz, while rolling his eyes, tweeted, "Why not call the place 'Joe-Mart?" And renowned economist, Milton Friedperson quipped, "Is this Biden's way of decreasing the trade deficit? Should we brace ourselves for 'McDonald's in Mongolia' or 'Starbucks in Siberia' next?” While the world continues to ponder the implications of the Biden Dollar Store, one thing is for sure - politics will never cease to amaze, surprise, or grandly confuse us. If your travel plans include Beijing anytime soon, be sure to pick up a “Biden Ballpoint Pen” and maybe even a self-signed autograph from Dollar Store Cashier, Joe Biden, himself!
