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.

And he hasn't been able to fill the big hole next to the White House, because the new construction is being enjoined and he hasn't (yet) been able to get Congress to authorize new construction.

But the hole exists at all because he didn't care. He ordered it, and it happened before anyone could stop him.

Same with tariffs. He ordered them, and it was months before anyone did anything. Then he ordered "different" ones, and -I'll take your word for it- they've been overruled again. Meanwhile, lots of tariff money have been collected, and I have little doubt he'll try to issue new/different ones again. Yes, the POTUS has a lot of power. But he's abusing it in illegal ways, and trying to appoint people that won't stop him, and trying his best to ignore those who try to stop him.

As I said, not Putin, but not Bush (either one) either.

...Trump doesn't know how to get anything done if he can't just command it be done.

I agree with that.
