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.

Is there anything, in your opinion, that Trump can do that will cause him to lose supporters ?

Sure. A general recession. A crash of crypto. A downhill ski slope of a stock market. Pocketbook issues are probably the largest.

A complete capitulation in Ukraine will make a minor dent. The loss of Taiwan would be bigger, but that would likely precipitate the recession mentioned above, because of the shortage of chips and the inability to sell stuff.

Other than that, no, not really. His supporters are linked to his butt with industrial grade epoxy, and won’t be dissuaded by anything but a hammer blow to their wallet.
