**Trump**: (sipping a golden cocktail) Welcome, folks, to the greatest rooftop bar ever. Tremendous views, just like my presidency. You know, I built a lot of buildings, but this one? This one’s the best.
**Xi Jinping**: (sitting calmly) Mr. Trump, I see you haven’t changed. Always building, always talking. But tell me, where are the walls?
**Yellen**: (checking her watch) Gentlemen, we are here to discuss the pressing matter of economic cooperation and the looming debt crisis, not architecture.
**Trump**: (waving a hand dismissively) Debt, schmebt. I know debt better than anyone, believe me. I’ve been in debt and out of debt more times than anyone. It’s like Monopoly, but with bigger stakes.
**Xi Jinping**: (leaning forward) In China, we play a different game. It’s called Go. It’s about strategy, positioning, and patience. Perhaps that is why we are winning the economic game.
**Yellen**: (with a hint of irony) And yet, both of you have come to this rooftop to solve the puzzle of global debt. How very, how should I say, poetic?
**Trump**: (snapping his fingers) Janet, you’re good with numbers. Can’t you just print more money? Make the problem go away? I did it, it was fantastic.
**Yellen**: (shaking her head) Printing money isn’t a magic trick, Donald. It’s more like a game of chess. Each move has consequences.
**Xi Jinping**: (smirking) In China, we control the board. We move pieces, and the world reacts. Your moves seem… unpredictable.
**Trump**: (grinning) Unpredictable is my middle name. Keeps everyone on their toes. Like a reality TV show, you know?
**Yellen**: (sighing) Gentlemen, this isn’t a game. Our economies are intertwined in a complex web that affects billions of lives. We need a serious approach.
**Xi Jinping**: (nodding) Agreed, Secretary Yellen. But the real question is, who holds the power to make those decisions?
**Trump**: (leaning back with a smug smile) Power? I’ve got the art of the deal. But if we’re talking power, isn’t it whoever can push the big red button?
**Yellen**: (raising an eyebrow) Let’s not forget, real power lies in stability and trust. Two things that tend to fluctuate like the stock market.
**Xi Jinping**: (standing up) Perhaps it’s time for a new game, one where we set aside our differences and focus on the future. The Belt and Road Initiative, for instance.
**Trump**: (chuckling) Belts and roads, huh? Sounds like a travel agency. But okay, I’ll bite. What’s your big idea?
**Xi Jinping**: (with a sly smile) A new world order, where we work together. Where debt isn’t a weapon, but a tool for growth.
**Yellen**: (nodding thoughtfully) If we can find common ground, perhaps we can avoid the next economic disaster.
**Trump**: (raising his glass) To common ground, then. And may it be as beautiful as this view.
**Xi Jinping**: (holding up his glass) And as strategic as a game of Go.
**Yellen**: (smiling) And as stable as a well-managed chessboard.
The three clink glasses, the sound echoing through the night as they gaze out over the sprawling city, each contemplating their next move in the grand game of geopolitics.
**Trump**: (turning to leave) You know, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship. Or at least a decent TV show.
As they part ways, the neon sign buzzes back to life: ‘Fiscal Fiasco Forum – Where the Real Deals are Made.’
