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.

Perhaps I've just read more social media comments than you, but it's clear that many MAGAts see Uday Trump and Qusay Trump as heirs to the throne when the Orange Rapist is laid to rest in a 24K gold sarcophagus, permanently enshrined on a pedestal in the center of the Capitol rotunda, like Napoleon in the chapel of Les Invalides.

Yeah, and those MAGA supporters are as delusional as Steve Bannon. Trump's children lack the skill set to take and hold power even more than Trump does. They're popular among a wide swath of the GOP base...but again, that's sufficient for running for elected office, and not nearly enough to wield power in a non-democratic government. If Trump tried to establish a dictatorship, those two would be the first against the wall in the inevitable military coup that would immediately follow....because again, Trump has no power base among military leadership, which is the sine qua non of a dictatorship.
