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.

MAGA in meltdown after Trump's China 'betrayal' over farmers promise

Hannity said “thousands and thousands of acres of farmland, ranch land and land near military installations” are being bought out by Chinese nationals. “It’s not that I love it,” Trump asserted, accepting one of his biggest campaign promises had now been withdrawn.

The President added: “You want to see farm prices drop, you wanna see farmers lose a lot of money? Just take that out of the market.”

But in Beijing, Trump was arguing that going ahead with his campaign pledge would suddenly hurt farmers instead of help them, and asserted pulling out the external investment [by Chinese buyers] would dramatically drive down the price of land.

Typical "JC". The only thing that matters is MONEY, and the Chinese have plenty to pay bribes with.
