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.

"The media is — finally! — noticing that Trump is becoming less and less coherent. But why isn’t it reporting on something almost every lawmaker and journalist in Washington knows — that Trump is remarkably stupid?
I don’t mean just run-of-the-mill stupid. I mean extraordinarily, off-the-charts, stupifyingly stupid."

"He claimed that magnets don’t work in water, that the Civil War was unnecessary because it should have been negotiated, and that no one would know who Lincoln was if he hadn’t gone to war."

"Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called Trump a f—king moron."

"Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, and even Rupert Murdoch all referred to Trump as an idiot?"
(Technically, Murdoch called him a "f—king idiot.")

"Trump’s chief economic adviser Gary Cohn described Trump as dumb as shit, explaining that Trump won’t read anything — not one-page memos, not the brief policy papers; nothing.
He gets up halfway through meetings with world leaders because he is bored."

"But Trump is an extraordinarily talented conman."
