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.

Trump provided neither.

Security? He threatened to leave NATO. He abandoned our role in SE Asia / Pacific, which China was more than happy to fill. He alienated our allies, making the world a lot less safe. He can't even be credited with border security because the coronavirus took care of that for him (allowed him to enact Title 42).

He literally did nothing for four years, except spread COVID misinformation (and other misinformation) and embolden Russia and China to stretch out their tentacles.

Prosperity is trickier since we can't really blame him for the economic paralysis associated with COVID. However, he did add trillions to the national debt with his tax cut for rich people. Which wasn't good. (I thought you were a budget hawk.)

Oh...and, if elected, he's promising more tax cuts. As if the deficit wasn't exploded enough already.
