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.

Also, I believe Congress would have to appropriate the funds. So, unless he's planning to dip into his personal stash (not gonna happen), that would be a big fight (which he would probably lose).

You're ignoring the fact, which has been amply demonstrated for the last 18 months, that he and his administration are completely lawless. They break laws in everything they do. He will break the law with this without blinking an eye. But it won't come to that and he knows it. The polling and prediction markets all give Repugnicans a 1% chance of holding both houses after the election, although Trump will declare that they won and they might hold on by preventing the new congress from being sworn in.
