Aussie Psychic: It’s $150 cash for a 60 minutes reading.

Husband: Okay. Here ya go.

Aussie Psychic: What’s your question?

Husband: Um… my wife “joked” that her Dad wants her to run for FEMALE PRESIDENT of TAIWAN?! Is she really just joking or is there a real possibility that this is in our future?

Aussie Psychic: Ugh, where is Taiwan again? I get it confused with Thailand. Which one is which!?

Husband: Umm… the island between China and Japan. NOT Thailand.

Aussie Psychic: Gotcha… okay, okay… (breaths deeply)… (eyes closing)… (more deep breaths)…

She doesn’t want it.

There is a formula for her to win, yes.

Husband: A formula for her to WIN?!?!!?

Aussie Psychic: Yes… yes, yes… ohhh even her ANCESTORS are here! Yes! There is A FORMULA for her to WIN! If she wanted it — she’ll win.

Husband: WTF?!?!

Aussie Psychic: If Mr Trump in America can win, she too, can win in Taiwan. She just needs the votes. And there’s a formula to get the votes. It’s a pretty standard machine. With qualified people running it. She could win. She really could.

Husband: She’s… she’s not even living in Taiwan right now?! She can barely speak Mandarin that well. She doesn’t even READ Chinese very well?!?!?

Aussie Psychic: And did that affect Mr Trump to have those equivalents with English grammar and pronunciation in America?! NO… That’s not what’s important. It’s likeability. She’s likeable. When she wants to be…

Husband: Oh… (dawning on him)… and her family? Why would her Dad make that “joke” — or was it even a joke?

Aussie Psychic: It’s not a joke from her Dad’s perspective. Or her Mum’s. They’re being serious. They don’t want to push her. But them, and their friends — they all know her potential. It wasn’t on purpose. It’s just from everyday interactions. It’s just a knowledge they have amongst themselves, given the circumstances — political circumstances that they understand better than you or I — whatever it is, in Taiwan. In their culture, they see it. They can see a future, where she wins. There is that path. It’s there for her if she wants it.

The most time she would serve would be eight years. Just like America, they’re only allowed two terms. Each term four years. It’s all very similar to America. Just think, American political system — generally speaking (but they don’t have the Electoral college!) — and, in an Asian context. Taiwanese context. She could win. Popular vote, she could win.

Husband: Fuck! Are you serious?! So what does that mean for me? If she decides she wants it?

Aussie Psychic: You’re more of a hindrance, to be brutally honest.

Husband: (Chuckles) I’m not surprised, but go on.

Aussie Psychic: You wouldn’t be allowed near the campaign that much. Think Melania — you’ll be like Melania. You’re not really part of it, unless it’s just ceremonial, photo ops. You’re just a pretty face, like Melania.

Husband: Well… Melania tried to tackle online bullying?! Would I be given anything to DO… like that?!

Aussie Psychic: No. That’s where it differs from America. Your role… is kind of romantic. It’s kind of like, she has in her vision — a way to keep peace in the region. And you, and her, and your “love story” — it’s kind of a metaphor. For keeping peace in the region. So you can sing songs — acoustic, only. Don’t do a big flashy dance or anything. Just chill vibes — but you can sing songs to support others in the same political party. To support their causes, but your role is only to show — that love story. And how, between different countries, you can fall in love. Which means, you’re all humans. You can get along.

Husband: (Stunned)… How SERIOUSLY or LIKELY is this REALLY going to happen?! And when?! Like, is she 90% certain she wants to do this, or what?!

Aussie Psychic: If she wanted to do it, it’ll be later in life… when the kids are… either in the final years of high school, or university level. She doesn’t want to disrupt the kids’ lives too much with these aspirations at the back of her mind. So it’s very unlikely while the kids are still underage. It’s more than likely — when the kids are at university age. The youngest of them all. So as not to disrupt their lives, as much as possible.

Husband: And what if I don’t want to do it? What if I don’t want to be First Gentleman of Taiwan?

Aussie Psychic: It’s okay. She can do it whilst juggling a long distance relationship. You could stay in Australia and play golf, if that’s all you wanted. Think — MELANIA. It really doesn’t matter. Your role doesn’t have to matter that much!

Husband: Okay…? But then, what if I want to do MORE?! What if I feel the passion to do more?! And involve MY country?!

Aussie Psychic: Oh no — the political party will not allow it. You’re staying away from that with a ten foot pole.

Husband: Right… so my place is… like Melania’s…

Aussie Psychic: Yes. And in terms of percentages… she’s at a 20% right now. It’s very unlikely. There’s something else… I’m getting a nudge from the Ancestors…

Ahh… it’s not her…

It’s another relative…

Husband: Huh?! What?!

Aussie Psychic: Her parents aren’t joking but SHE’S joking — another relative — is running, or has already run for office, and is climbing up…

Husband: Right now?! In 2025?!?!?!

Aussie Psychic: Yes. In 2025… I’m not connected to Taiwan that much. I can’t grasp whether it’s already happened. But I’m seeing someone… winning votes… getting ballots… some kind of victory… she has… SOME OTHER RELATIVE… already, in Taiwanese politics. And they’re CLIMBING UP. It’s more than likely — 90% likely — all her parents acquaintances and everyone, is watching THAT PERSON climb up. They’re mostly “joking” about her — but they’re serious — about that other relative.

Husband: (Not sure how to feel)

Aussie Psychic: If you ever followed her Tik Tok, from very, very, very early on… she started off really, really obnoxious… and then, one day, it suddenly seemed — a lot was deleted. A lot was cleaned up. She never explained anything to her followers.

Her mother said, “Your relative is running for office. Don’t say anything DUMB about politics of any country on social media!!!” Especially because Taiwanese tabloid journalists are on Tik Tok.

Husband: (Thinking back… because he’s been following her Tik Tok from the start from a burner account)… I was wondering about that… That weird… shift… in her content… and her attitudes… like she was just… suddenly silenced…?

Aussie Psychic: It didn’t come from that relative. It’s just her mother being protective. That relative doesn’t mind. They’re pretty strong, it wouldn’t affect them. But her mother was being protective, just in case…

Husband: So… I’m not gonna be Taiwan’s First Gentleman / Melania equivalent in my future?

Aussie Psychic: Time’s almost up. But I can tell you this — it’s too far away in the future, even I can’t tell you with certainty. The relative is more likely — that I sense, with much more certainty. The relative could be President. Maybe by the next decade. I don’t know what gender. But their family is protective of the image. Save face. Don’t say too much. Don’t dabble into political extremes yourself. Just let the relative run, and see if they make it.

Husband: Just one more question… like… what position is this relative in now?

Aussie Psychic: I’m getting like… P… P… Pete… Buttigieg?! He or She, is like… a Taiwanese Pete Buttigieg?! Something like that… it’s still foggy… I can’t say with certainty. Maybe they are aiming for Pete Buttigieg’s equivalent type of position right now… and they’re still climbing up…

Husband: They’re young? They’re Millennial?

Aussie Psychic: They are relatively young for politics. Relatively older Millennial or youngish Gen X… yes.

Husband: How would I…? I don’t know what to ask but I want to know more.

Aussie Psychic: It’s actually possible, that you cross paths with the relative, simply via your charity projects. It’s quite possible… regardless of your connection with her.

You’re not a hindrance while you stick with your charity projects and remain unproblematic in that way. It’s neutral. It’s not a hindrance.

If you ever left the charity projects or took a break from them, and then started saying shit on Twitter or anything like that — that’s a hindrance. That’s a risk of losing face.

Husband: (Nodding) Okay… okay, I think I get it now. Thanks.
