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.

DJT down another -6% today. Its 16th loss in the past 18 sessions.

Am I detecting a pattern?

Trump Airlines: It never turned a profit and defaulted on its loans by 1990, ceasing operations by 1992.

Trump Vodka: Launched in 2006, Trump promised it would become "America's most popular cocktail." The brand was discontinued in 2011 after only 5 years.

Trump Mortgage: Trump claimed "Who knows more about financing than me?" The company shut down in 2007 amid the housing market crash.

GoTrump.com: A "luxury" travel search engine launched in 2006 that ceased operations just a year later in 2007.

Trump Steaks: Launched in 2007, sales were discontinued after only two months.

Trump Steakhouse: Trump claimed, "Was the best in the world!" was closed for health code violations.

Trump Magazine: Ceased publication after only 1.5 years.

Trump University: An unaccredited scam that operated from 2005 to 2011. It faced multiple lawsuits and investigations regarding its business practices.

Trump Entertainment Resorts: Trump's casino business filed for bankruptcy four times.

Lastly Trumps biggest failure of all, his Presidency: He added $8 Trillion to national debt, and ended his presidency with an economy that had 3 million fewer jobs than when he started
becoming the first American President to experience a net loss of jobs over his time in office.
Trump's mishandling of the pandemic is considered one of the most catastrophic failures of leadership in U.S. history.
His downplaying of the virus, promotion of unproven treatments, and lack of a national strategy resulted in thousands of avoidable deaths.

What an inspiration!
