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.

One of the commentators on the news last night, went through Trump the Perfect's record of TACO when it comes to China.

Seems that a Chinese tanker, that has been specifically sanctioned by the US since 2023, sauntered through the Strait last night, and the mighty US blockade did nothing.

Chinese tanker reportedly passes US’ Hormuz blockade

Two ships from Iran ports pass Hormuz Strait despite US blockade • FRANCE 24 English

So, Trump the Magnificent appears to have come up empty, again. Who will he lash out at, to try to rebuild his image of divine perfection and power? And what is going through "Bibi's" mind, at Trump's ineffectiveness?
