The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" 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.

"Well...yeah.
It's clear that Trump wants to isolate China and start forcing the re-alignment of the Western economies away from their influence." - Dumbass Dope

Uh, Trump's tariffs have gotten China, South Korea, and Japan to sit down and negotiate for the first time in decades. If Trump really wants to isolate China, he is going about it the wrong way. He is driving the rest of the world closer to China.

What is clear is a couple days ago even you were recognizing how insane Trump's tariff policy was and now you are looking for some way to justify it, at least in your mind.
