After a lot of annoying "what if" threads, here's one you'll like (2nd best internet joke)

What if............

Donald Trump decides he needs some sympathetic company, so he travels to Israel to visit with Bibi Netanyahu. During his stay there, his decades of McDonald's food catches up to him, and his clogged arteries are fully closed. He suffers a heart attack and dies.

The local authorities give the American diplomatic mission two options. They can bury Trump right there in Jerusalem for $100, or they can send him back to the USA for $50,000.

The Americans distance themselves for a quick conference. They return, and tell their Israeli hosts that they will opt to spend the $50,000 to send Trump back to the USA. Surprised, the Israelis ask why they would opt for such an expensive undertaking when they could bury him right there in Jerusalem for just $100.

The head of the American delegation explains to his Israeli hosts: "Look, we appreciate the offer. Really, we do. But a long time ago, right near here, another prominent man was buried, and three days later, he arose from the dead. That is a risk we are just not prepared to take."
