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.

Yeah, I was going to call you on the weak USA. But another poster already pointed out that Trump abandoned Asia/Pacific, leaving China to fill the void. I complained about that at the time on tmf, and have continued to comment occasionally, as necessary.

Biden IS a weak President, and now the world is reaping the consequences. That has nothing to do with Trump.

On the charge of "Trump abandoned Asia", I believe that's an attempt at criticizing his decision not to pursue the Asian Trade Pact. The Trump administration's philosophy wasn't so much aimed at groups of nations for trade pacts; they thought it better to sign deals with individual countries on terms more friendly to the United States.
