Donald Trump’s obsession with the twitter social-media platform - and the presumption that he won’t give it up once he takes office - scares a whole bunch of people. From companies that are afraid he’ll send their stock price into free fall if they don’t do what he says, to defense experts worried that his proclivity for extemporaneous tweeting is a national-security nightmare.

But what if someone, or a group of someones - say, traders in Mexico - had a simple solution to the problem that wouldn’t involve prying @realDonaldTrump from the soon-to-be president’s elfin hands?

Per Bloomberg:

There’s a strange idea circulating among Mexican currency traders. Well, more of a joke really. But there’s a certain logic to it. Instead of spending its precious reserves to defend the peso, Mexico should just buy Twitter Inc. - at a cost of about $12 billion - and immediately shut it down. The notion made the rounds this week after the central bank revealed it had already blown through $2 billion of reserves in a largely futile effort to shield the peso from a steady stream of anti-Mexico Tweets from Donald Trump.

Now, no one thinks this is really going to happen. And it’s hard to imagine it’d be effective anyway. But that the idea was even raised in jest shows how just how frustrated Mexicans are that their economy and the value of their savings are at the mercy of the seemingly random musings coming in 140-character bursts from Trump’s Twitter account.

It’s a “joke,” sure, but what if it didn’t have to be?
