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.

Here is where I differ with you. If the President was there - no problem, but the President wasn't there. It looked like there was no notice for one, two - clearances? They walked in unannounced, and it wasn't clear, but it seemed none of them had the proper clearances. So I bet you, that even though those 2 fellows were put on paid leave, that in the meantime there was a scramble to 1. get them the proper clearances, 2 think through what level of clearance they needed, and 3. verify with the White House that they were there on orders from the President. - Lambo

I don't think we differ that much. If there is an established procedure to credential Presidential agents, then it should be followed. And if Trump was in too big of a hurry to get going, that comes as no surprise to me. So by now I assume everyone is properly credentialed and the President, through his agents, can get back to bringing in the sunshine.
