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.

Today's "Meet the Press" interview is a wonderland of stupid.

Example 1
TRUMP: "We were losing hundreds of billions of dollars with China. Now we're essentially not doing business with China. Therefore, we're saving hundreds of billions of dollars. It's very simple."

Hey, I bet I could save bigly dollars by not paying any federal taxes.

Example 2
When asked "When does it become the Trump economy?" Mad King Donald said: "It partially is right now. I think the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy."

What now?

Example 3
When asked if he is considering tariff relief for small businesses, Mad King Donald said: "Why do you always mention, you know, a couple of little businesses. What about the car business?"

Small businesses generate 60-80% of net new jobs.

Example 4
When pressed on his admission that tariffs will increase prices and lower product availability, Mad King Donald said: "I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls ... they don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five."

IOW, Americans are going to be poorer, have less selection, and better get used to it. And gee, I cannot remember the last time I bought a pencil. And where did he come up with pencils as an example of overpurchasing, anyway?

Example 5
When asked if he needs to uphold the Constitution, Mad King Donald -- who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution -- said: "I don't know."

Yeah, it was a tricky question.

Seriously, that guy has signs of dementia.
