About politics

I told my son, “You will marry the girl I choose.” He said, “NO!”

I told him, “She is Bill Gates’ daughter.” He said, “OK.”

I called Bill Gates and said, “I want your daughter to marry my son.” Bill Gates said, “NO.”

I told Bill Gates, My son is the CEO of World Bank.” Bill Gates said, “OK.”

I called the President of World Bank and asked him to make my son the CEO. He said, “NO.”

I told him, “My son is Bill Gates’ son-in-law.” He said, “OK.”

This is how politics works.
