All that gdpness hot and throbbing in my mouth as i wrap my accounting department around it, and extract everything i can. I'll be methodical, ruthless, and messy, as i extract every last bit.

That's impractical, because for a pinky promise, you need to actually lock pinkies. We need a surrogate, like maybe the Commander in Chief?

Perfect, and since he's in his 70s, he has all of that experience keeping promises to draw on.
