The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Only a narcissist could spew such nonsense and think of himself as a genius.

“…and in the months ahead, and it’s so good that we got to know so many of you, I mean we’re— so many, and I— I’d love to get to your countries at some point. Marco loves going to your countries. he’s always— at one of these countries. he’ll— he likes your countries the best, okay? you know? ‘where are you?’ and then— ‘I’m in Chile.’ ‘oh good, how’s Chile doing?’ ‘good.’ he likes it, he’s very comf— we all like him, right? he— it helps— he’s got a language, uh, he’s got a language advantage over me. ’cause I’m not learning your damn language, I don’t have time. I was okay with languages, but I’m not gonna spend time learning your language, that much I won’t do. just give me an interpreter — INTERPRETER! VERY IMPORTANT! and I know if somebody’s good. I may not speak the language but I know— I had an interpreter recently who wasn’t good, talking to a very strong person from a different part of the world, and I could tell, even though I— even though— I don’t speak the language, I could tell the interpreter was not good. when you go ‘uh, uh, uh’ — when I give a long, flowing beautiful sentence, and in this case it was a woman, and she gave in it about one fourth the time, I said well, their language could be efficient, but it’s not that efficient.”

The best part? Trump saying:

...when I give a long, flowing beautiful sentence...


Something that has NEVER happened, unless reading someone else's words off a teleprompter, and he even does that horribly.
