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.

See Jeff Tiedrich's take on journalist Ramin Setoodeh's new book about Donald Trump, called “Apprentice in Wonderland.” "For the book, he interviewed Donny six times — and the things he witnessed were not pretty."

From jefftiedrich.com - Author who interviewed trump confirms -

“Donald Trump had severe memory issues. as the journalist who spent the most time with him, I have to say he couldn’t remember things. he couldn’t even remember me. we spent an hour together in 2021, in May, and then a few months later I went back to Trump Tower to talk to him about his time in the White House and he had this vacant look on his face, and I said to him ‘do you remember me?’ and he said no. he had no recollection of our lengthy interview that we had. I think the American public needs to see this portrait of Donald Trump because this shows what he is like and who he is.”
...
“I’ve interviewed Donald Trump more than any other journalist since he’s left the White House … he goes from one story to the next, he struggles with the chronology of events … there were some cognitive questions … he would from time to time become confused … he confidently told me and declared that Joan Rivers voted for him when he ran for president — and Joan Rivers died in 2014.”
...
“he also seemed to think that he still had some foreign policy powers. there was one day where he told me he needed to go upstairs to deal with Afghanistan, even though he clearly didn’t.”

Kaitlan Collins: “he told you that while you were interviewing him at Trump Tower, he told you he needed to go upstairs and deal with Afghanistan?”

“with quote ‘the Afghanistan’ is how he referred to it.”
