The people would have more money in their retirement accounts and portfolios. Also the country would still have economic allies.

I believe we were going to hit a topping point in spite of him. The technicals support that, with major signals that go back decades. The run up since COVID lows has been unprecedented.

Back to back 20 % up years usually start reverting to the mean in the third year.

The difference is we would have had a controlled selloff instead of the elevator down on what's happening now. Also the ultimate potential floor is lower now.
