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.

LurkerMom: I cared he was a street fighter giving us Peace and Prosperity during his four years as President.

Trumpers are delusional.

Trump had the worst jobs performance of any president in the last 90 years. He lost almost three million more jobs than he created during his time in office.

Trump added nearly eight trillion dollars to the nation's debt, the highest accumulation of debt in any four-year presidency in history.

Trump never once achieved his promised 5-6% GDP growth rate.

LurkerMom: America’s adversaries knew their place when Trump was our President.

Delusional.

North Korea test launched an intermediate range ballistic missile and conducted its sixth nuclear test while Trump declared his love for Kim Jung Un, who called Trump a "mentally deranged U.S. dotard". Kim Jong-un declared "victory" in developing nuclear weapons, ICBMs, and the ability to mount nuclear warheads on ballistic missiles.

The U.N. General Assembly literally laughed at Trump.

Iran launched ballistic missile attack on US forces in Iraq and resumed its production of nuclear material for a nuclear weapon.

LurkerMom: It was not Trumps fault covid struck and things began to go south.

Umm, what? So whose responsibility is a nationwide public health crisis?

His mismanagement of the pandemic led to the deaths of over one million Americans. Trump abandoned his responsibility to keep Americans safe and initially ignored the pandemic for two reasons: first, he thought it would spoil his reelection campaign; second, the first wave hit the blue states of New York, New Jersey, California, and Illinois hardest, and he was happy to watch them suffer. Then he refused to handle the distribution of testing kits, gloves, masks, respirators, and other necessary medical equipment at a federal level and pitted states against each other in a bidding war. Trump abandoned masking because his manly make-up wiped off onto his masks.

Your unwavering loyalty to a man the court has said is a rapist, whose business has been found guilty of fraud, whose charity misappropriated funds, is under 91 felony indictments, pled the 5th hundreds of times, called war dead losers and suckers, and left the White House with dozens of boxes literally filled with the nation's most sensitive classified intelligence documents is the very definition of delusional.
