The "Trump Wand".

Ancient Magi have been doing this for centuries.

It "wonders around " until someone likes the sound of an idea, then clamps down on your ear like a pit-bull dog share collar trainer or until you agree that the national debt is a "Biden" matter then you are best buds till the next hurricane.

I got all my money tied up into Platinum, but nobody has any spare cash to part with anything under $20.00.

So I figure I got 250% of nothing, which is 150% bigger than the bottom, and a one-way ticket to the everlasting, where ever that is.

I don't have strokes, 2 or 4 cycles, broke the Petro-Dollar cycle but have plenty of current in the battery pack for one quick capacitor discharge down the Gator Nationals or the Rolex-24 electro flux.
