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.

"...to say nothing of the fiscal incompetence and business failures in his personal management of the Trump "empire"."

America has hitched it's wagon to a self-proclaimed "genius" who managed to bankrupt 3 casinos.
Such a "stellar" record of accomplishment. In 2019, a look back at Trump's IRS filings showed:

A quick google search: Google: Google Search
"In 2019, The New York Times obtained partial information from transcripts of Trump's IRS Form 1040s (the main personal federal tax form) from 1985 to 1994, revealing that during that time Trump lost $1.17 billion—the most of almost any individual U.S. taxpayer"

Trump has been quoted as stating that he luvs debt, that nobody uses debt better than him.
His "magic move" in that regard, his nobody uses debt better move, is to declare BK, stiff
creditors, stiff contractors, stiff working class people, stiff........everybody."

Just my opinion, but America FA'd, and America is going to FO. Truly hope I'm wrong.
I despise Trump, but if any of his wild-azz plans end up actually helping the Country,
I'll give him credit for it. And will surely give him blame if those same plans hurt
the Country.

I voted for 3 Republicans last week, they were running locally. Researched all of the candidates
before voting via looking over the sample ballot that was available, anybody that expressed any MAGA tendencies were tossed with extreme prejudice.

The 3 GOP I voted for were the best candidates in those local races.
