    Notice how even when potentially becoming self aware they still say it’s having a negative effect on “conservative Canadians” as if they’re the only demographic that would be pissed about a hostile foreign power threatening to take their sovereignty.

    This person is rich enough to own stocks. It’s good that they’re feeling some negative effects of what they voted for, but calling a 15 % dip in their portfolio “suffering” is kind of devaluing the actual human suffering that Trump’s policies are causing.

      Anyone who must be employed to survive is one of us, I’d say. Even “millionaires” understand that pressure. Still, it probably doesn’t matter if they have any realizations because they’ve all served their purpose to him.

    Even if Biden had been as “out to lunch” as they all claimed (which was so crazy it hurt to see), even if he was worse, then at least the people around him knew what they were doing.

    We’re instead now surrounded by people like the crazy drunk fox news weekend host Hegseth and "one of the victors re-writing history Patel.

    These aren’t even serious enough people to have a conversation with. I legit think they would devolve immediately into literally saying “hurr durrr” if asked about their behavior for more than a couple minutes.

        I don’t even know how that’s possible, casinos are barely legal money printing machines. People drive hours to the middle of buttfuck, nowhere in many states just to gamble, and his were in major cities for Christsake, lol.

            I tend to think a lot of this damage is permanent. That doesn’t mean you’re wrong, but it might mean our growth is stunted forever or for many years. Screwing over allies like this, and a public who would re-elect him? Why would they trust us as a trade partner if they can avoid it?

              Please be careful with your investments. Respectfully, you seem to be mistaking the idea that markets like these reflect reality. The market and reality can remain out of alignment as long as all the major players are willing to keep pretending. This is the nature of a bubble, for instance, and no one can predict when it will pop (except those who can cause it to…).

              Trump is VERY likely: aware of the market swings he’s causing, doing it on purpose, and taking advantage of predictable moves with friends. He very well may issue statements next week that cause it to shoot back up.

              You’re a consumer of investments, meaning a mark, rube, or bag holder for the people who actually exert influence over these things. You should almost certainly leave your money alone and not make moves that play directly into the hands of the folks who want you to sell low and buy high.

              Edit: typo

                I appreciate this. I think you have a better grasp on things but I was leaning toward not doing anything. In any case my portfolio is fairly conservative. Index funds and a retirement plan set to light risk setting iirc. Yeah, these motherfuckers care about their own money so I figured they were taking full advantage, incredibly illegally, but who will stop them? No one. I was considering moving some of my savings into my index funds because of the buy low sell high thing but I’m too spooked to change much.

                  I’ve got a similar portfolio to yours and every time I’ve made changes based on what look to me like inevitable events / movements, I’ve regretted it. As maddening as it can be, I just leave it alone now and slowly balance toward (traditionally) safer investments (AKA not stocks or even indexes of them) as I get older. Cheers and good luck, I understand the frustration!!

              Exactly. It could be back to the level it was 1 month ago in 1 month from now if Trump does a complete 180 to his approach (doubtful and yet somewhat still believable) just like it could take 10 years.

          He promised that he would bring down prices by putting tariffs on everything. So you can check that one off the list. The tariffs are in place. And he promised to end the war in Ukraine by bullying them into surrendering to Russia, and finishing the genocide in Palestine, so you can check off ending wars as well.

          The only one he didn’t promise was to not be a little bitch in the White House, because we all knew that’s exactly what he was gonna be. We had historical evidence of that.

        Even past that, the market has been on a historic bull run. The NASDAQ is up around 150% over five years. Unprecedented gains, even with the COVID dip.

        What kind of whiny bullshit is this about a 15% decline? You’re holding equity with a 100+ p/e. You took a bunch of leveraged risk and came out ahead, but you’re still not happy because… you’re not a trillionaire like Daddy Musk yet? Take your fucking profits and back away from the roulette wheel, you degenerates.
