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.

According to a new AP poll, Trump has lost his edge over Harris on who would handle the economy better. They're essentially tied with Trump at 43% vs Harris 41% on this question (which is within the margin of error.) And this is in line with the latest Michigan consumer sentiment survey where Americans are feeling a lot better about their own personal finances.

Based on Trump's latest Bloomberg interview, he may be suffering from dementia or it could be just total incompetence and ignorance. The Bloomberg journalist John Micklethwait asked

M. Should Google be broken up?

Trump: (Deep sigh) I just haven't gotten over something the Justice Department did yesterday, where Virginia cleaned up its voter rolls and got rid of thousands and thousands of bad votes. And the Justice Department sued them, that they should be allowed to put those bad votes, those illegal votes, back in and let the people vote. So I haven't gotten over that. A lot of people have seen that, and they can't even believe it.

M: The question was about Google, President Trump.

The while session was like that.

M: You’ve gone from the dollar to Macron

Trump: (Engages in vigorous hand-semaphore) It’s called the weave. It's all these different things happening.

Yeah, all these disconnected things happening in his mind that come out of his mouth as total BS, lies and verbal diarrhea.
