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.

It isn't that Trump the Conqueror *can't" open the Strait. He doesn't want to open the Strait.

Stopped at the grocery store during my daily wander today. Noticed an article about this on the front page of a Detroit newspaper.

Trump appears to settle in for lengthy Strait of Hormuz standoff as Iran war hits 60-day mark

The war in Iran has reached the 60-day mark, with President Trump apparently willing to live with an extended Strait of Hormuz blockade and little sense that Congress will meaningfully push back.

It all points to a conflict with no clear end in sight.

Meanwhile, the lumbering, roaring, buffoon, aggrandizes himself some more.

Donald Trump Shares New Map Showing The 'Strait Of Trump' And It Doesn’t Chart Well

Donald Trump faced fresh mockery after doubling down on the idea of renaming the Strait of Hormuz after himself.

Trump, who has a penchant for putting his name on buildings and more, reshared what appeared to be an AI-generated map on his Truth Social platform that labeled the narrow channel off Iran’s coast as the “Strait of Trump.”

Of course, name it after himself, because he is the one that caused the closure, because big oil paid him to bail them out of a poor return on their USian oil production investments.
