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.

I thought Trump said the war was over and we won!
I thought Trump said the strait was open for business and Iran was giving up all their uranium?

Seems Trump the Conqueror's declaration of victory was premature, just like his other near daily announcements of victory have been. Iran denies it has agreed to give up it's U, which Trump the Scientist insists on calling "nuclear dust". Iran says strait closed, because Trump the Pirate King did not stop his blockade. And, seems Iran still has a Navy, in spite of Trump the Perfect insisting their Navy had been destroyed.

I have wondered, for six weeks. Seems the answer is becoming clear. Trump the Magnificent is Baghdad Bob. The Mullahs are more trustworthy than the POTUS. Give me a second to get my head around that.
