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.

Trumps Former national security adviser John Bolton Says Authoritarian Leaders Are 'Fully Prepared To Take Advantage' Of Trump...

"I don’t think they are really friendly with Donald Trump." Bolton said, naming the leaders of China, Russia and North Korea as examples.
"They think he’s a laughing fool. And they’re fully prepared to take advantage of him. I think they believe he’s an easy mark."

"When you’re in a crisis you need a president who is resolute, who can keep his eye on the prize and worry about our national security, not his own image."

"His attention span is short. He doesn’t know much about world history or world affairs. He actually doesn’t think they matter very much.
He thinks his personal relationships with foreign leaders, especially the authoritarian ones, are all that matter."

BTW Bolton is a lifelong Republican who actually worked closely with Trump. It's almost as if everyone who has ever met Trump thinks he's a total joke.

Even his own Sister...

"Donald is cruel, all he wants to do is appeal to his base. He has no principles. None. None. And his base, I mean my God,
if you were a religious person, you want to help people. Not do this.
His go--mned tweeting and lying, oh my god. I’m talking too freely, but you know. The changing stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy shit." ~Maryanne Trump
