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.

How could Trump's recent implementation of tariffs be related to the use of Sun Tzu "The Art of War" principles?

Below is how Grok responded:...

From another site, Grok was posed a related question:
To Grok:
Please briefly explain the art of the deal for [people] who still don't understand how Trump operates even after decades of him using the same strategy for everything. Be concise.

Output:
"The Art of the Deal" is Donald Trump's negotiating strategy that he has used consistently for decades. Here are the key elements:
1. Start with an extreme position to create room for compromise.
2. Use attention-grabbing statements to control the narrative and put the other side on the defensive.
3. Create a sense of urgency to pressure the other side into making concessions.
4. Keep the other side guessing about your true intentions and bottom line.
5. Be willing to walk away if the deal doesn't meet your standards.
