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.

Here, Trump very much wants to make things run his way, and is willing to be incredibly disruptive. Elsewhere, I don't think he especially cares about domestic human rights issues in Russia or Iran or Venezuela.

Sure. But, in the process, he is driving business away. His -probably illegal- tariffs, his unreliable behavior...as I think you said earlier, he's forcing other countries to rely on China for stability and predictability in trade.

That is the opposite of the goal you stated (i.e. get down to investing and the U.S. can start cutting more deals). They most definitely DON'T want to do that now. And threatening Greenland/Denmark isn't helping, either.
