Agreed, I'm certainly not going to bet against the USA long term.
Trump is dumb, and he surrounds himself with dumb people, so I never understood the MAGA faith in him as an economic or business leader.
But that wasn't, and isn't, what worries me most about his presidency. Economically, we're going to be fine, and probably relatively soon. Plenty of pain coming for poorer Americans, but for people like us the pain is likely going to be limited to some abstract and temporary anxiety over some digital 1s and 0s when we check in on our brokerage accounts.
It's his foreign policy decisions that are the real danger. What he's doing with Ukraine/Russia. He's alienating allies in the Pacific that we need to counter China and god only knows what he'd do if China/Taiwan tensions ramped up. Peace and tranquility aren't exactly breaking out in the Middle East.
There are far, far bigger things out there for him to **** up than the stock market and the US economy.
THESE are the risks I keep giving you guys **** about. The cavalier way you all dismissed the national and global risk of putting a corrupt, vile, stupid man in charge, because you were distracted by nonsense about trans swimmers and DEI, and deluded by old ideas about "Republican" presidents and economic good times.
Just wait. He's going to do a lot more stupid things that will get people hurt.
