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.

As a European outsider I suspect that probably not only many voters already regret their vote

No they don't. This is a Dem talking point, but there are more people who voted Dem that regret their vote than people who voted Rep regret their vote. The more common remark is "I am seeing twice as much happening as I expected in my wildest dreams."

A difficulty for "non-US outsiders" is that they mostly get their US news from what is called the MSM (mainstream media) which is heavily slanted toward Dem.

Yeah, it is really difficult for non-Americans to understand America. They think they do, but they don't.


Tax issues for "non-US persons" are one thing, and I don't know anything about that or the associated risks.

But the GDP of USA is the largest of all countries, and is almost TWICE the GDP of the #2 country (China). And SIX times the #3 country (Germany). 26% of the world GDP. #2 is 17%, #3 is 4%
So the US economy is going to be the dominant economy for investing.
