@TheAllMemeingEye @Bayesian this can resolve YES. The Atlantic quoted Trump as saying "no más" in an interview. Neither Merriam-Webster nor dictionary.com have a relevant entry for "mas", "más", "no mas", or "no más", so I think this qualifies as not loaned into English.

“You know at some point, they give up,” he said, referring to media owners generally and—we suspected—Bezos specifically. “At some point they say, No más, no más.” He laughed quietly.

@jcb nice try, afaik "más" is not a loanword or cognate, but "no" definitely is a cognate. It's nonetheless very close and arguably does still make it more likely he'll do it at some point.

@TheAllMemeingEye It's not clear to me that the "no cognates/loanwords" here means "any word that has an English cognate doesn't count", as opposed to "it doesn't count if Trump is speaking English and just happens to use loanwords/cognates that also exist in other languages".

If no cognates at all count, then many, many words in other languages are ruled out, including "más", which does have cognates in English. English "much" and Spanish "más" come from a common Proto-Indo-European root "*meg-" meaning "great".

Since "cognates" just means words that share an etymological origin, and since almost all European languages are descended from a common ancestor (I mean - all languages full stop probably are, but the exact connections aren't as well established), it's pretty broad.

One example I like is that German "hund" and latin "canis" (both meaning "dog") are cognates :p.

They share an origin, some c's turned into h's in one branch of Indo-European languages, vowels don't matter, word endings don't matter, and look at that n! They both have one. Basically the same word, I'm sure you'll agree.

@KJW_01294 Isn't this resolver?

@BodeyBaker market creator has to resolve, not me

@KJW_01294 I can't tell if that means this is a good price, or if their idea of crippled is extreme enough it won't likely happen (like it has to be closed)

@Marnix @Bayesian Resolves to YES? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/26/trump-administration-child-deportation

@AnonUser Are you sure? I may be misreading, but this sounds voluntary in the article, with the administration acknowledging that she remains a citizen and can return:

>According to Mack, when VML’s father briefly spoke to Villela, he could hear her and the children crying. During that time, according to a court document, he reminded her that their daughter was a US citizen “and could not be deported”.

However, prosecutors said Villela, who has legal custody, told Ice that she wanted to retain custody of the girl and have her go with her to Honduras. They said the man claiming to be VML’s father had not presented himself to Ice despite requests to do so.

“It is therefore in VML’s best interest that she remain in the lawful custody of her mother,” Trump administration officials said in a filing on Friday. “Further, VML is not at risk of irreparable harm because she is a US citizen.” VML is not prohibited from entering the US, prosecutors added.

@Frogswap (I might also be trusting the current admin's statements too much here)

i’m not following the situation closely. Should the option be unresolved?

@Frogswap I took a look at a couple documents afterwards, but I'm still not sure. The order that is the basis for the article ends "In the interest of dispelling our strong suspicion that the Government just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process, IT IS ORDERED that the matter be set for hearing at 9:00 a.m. on May 16, 2025". But I think it's mostly the technicality that is still in question; it doesn't seem plausible that the US did not perform the spirit of a deportation on a US citizen. They will probably argue that it was a voluntary departure, but as I understand it they illegally detained her to get to that point.

I'm personally fine with leaving it resolved unless anything develops.

@TheAllMemeingEye Does this have to be a formal declaration of war (to my knowledge, last done 1942 in WW2), or would a significant military action involving US troops on the ground (such as Afghanistan, Vietnam) count for yes?

@DavidTucker copied from earlier comments:

thepurplebull:

Does this mean he has to sign a formal war declaration? Or can Trump just authorize military action?

Me:

let's say the latter, since I suspect he's quite likely to make a bunch of hyperbolic statements about being at war without any real substance. For it to count though, in addition to authorising military action, it should probably also require some sort of objective to at least temporarily capture / recapture / defend populated territory, to distinguish it from e.g. a standalone airstrike to assassinate a specific target.

I'm pretty sure Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan would all meet this criteria

@njmkw @Bayesian does this count? https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-03-27/justice-department-california-universities-race-dei-admissions

@Marnix If you're still considering N/Aing stuff to make way for other questions, I'd recommend this one. I'm suspecting people are misinterpreting it as "shift in general consensus of societal status" instead of "ending to poorly animated anti-woke series on Twitter" (and, frankly, it's not really all that interesting of a question).

@TheAllMemeingEye would things like "habeas corpus" and "joie de vivre" count as loanwords? How about a film title?

@MingCat In general I would count any phrases that appear in mainstream English dictionaries or Wikipedia lists of foreign language phrases in English as being loaned and thus not resolving yes.

As for media titles, let's say that if that media was released in the US with the title containing foreign language words, then that title when used to refer to that media is also loaned, but if coincidentally using the same phrase not referring to the media, or if using the original language title when the US release version had the title translated to English, then that would not be loaned and could resolve yes.

@TheAllMemeingEye Would Trump saying "c'est la vie" be enough for a YES resolution?

@Kraalnaxx it appears here, so I would consider it a loan word (or I guess technically a loan phrase)

@MalachiteEagle @Bayesian My argument for this one is that there is a causal link between the trend spike for the term "vibes" and Trump's election in 2016

@TheAllMemeingEye ahahahaha

Utah’s signed a law that prevents trans pride flags from being displayed in schools and government buildings. The bill’s sponsor said on Twitter that the purpose was to “ban the Pride flag” specifically. The governor says he expects the legislation to be overridden but agrees with the premise of preventing “divisive” flags and “keeping classrooms neutral”

Should resolve YES?

@KJW_01294 Is it possible to be overridden before it comes into effect?

@TheAllMemeingEye Not likely. The bill page says, “3/27/2025, Became Law w/o Governor Signature”. The governor didn’t veto the bill, so the only ways to override before it takes effect on 7 May 2025 are through a special legislative session (which hasn’t been called before 7 May any time in the last 15 years except for a veto override) or a court order.
