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.

"Truax also cites Donny’s inability to understand how numbers work as another warning sign of dementia.

Trump: “…one fifth. one half. it’s a tremendous difference. this is for the people in this room, because this is something that nobody else can do. we’re gonna get the drug prices down, not thirty or forty percent, which would be great. not fifty or sixty, no. we’re going to get them down 1,000 percent. 600 percent. 500 percent. 1,500 percent. numbers that are not even thought to be achievable.”

How is Trump not raked over the coals for idiotic statements like the above ??
Reporters don't even challenge him when he is spouting that gibberish ??
Are they that intimidated by him ?

Now this is easy for me to say, I'm not in the room with him, but Trump is not a tough guy.
He's an obese, belligerent blowhard, and he would surely throw a tantrum if confronted in
real time, but it has got to be done by somebody. I don't care that he is Prez, he needs
to be challenged. And if he gets challenged enough, he will likely have a melt down and
have to be led off stage. But until somebody calls him out on his blatant bullshit,
he's gonna just keep on spewing it.
