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.

I agree, though, that he is not a mental midget as to ability to sway an audience and capture a sentiment in the culture.

Trump learned that 'ability' from the McMahons (Vince and his wife, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon).

It's the 'kayfabe' used for WWE shows.

Trump kayfabe casts everybody as a 'babyface' or a 'heel.' Patriots vs antifa. Americans vs Communists. Stable genius vs lunatics.

It's unfortunate that the dumbing down of the nation has resulted in so many people buying into his kayfabe. Criminal and billionaire classes have recognized the opportunity to capitalize on his kayfabe act to further plunder the nations wealth from a mesmerized cult.
