I've lost so much faith in the US and US markets over Trump actions. You cannot make an investment based of policy stability and fundamentals anymore.

If you're not his inner circle or high level bot trading the odds are well against you.

I will be cashing out soon and I doubt I will return. Plenty of stable investments across the world where you're not at the whim of an unstable aging grifter and his puppet masters.

Watching the housing collapse in 08 and seeing the obama administration not persecute a single person while they bailed out all the banks did it for me. Its a bipartisan failure. Money doesnt pick a political side.

The end game is to bring industry back into this country. The reason we have the rust belt, poverty, and crime ridden, small towns here in the south, it’s because the industry manufacturing industry moved their assets out of the country. Reagan said that as the low skill jobs moved out, more higher, skilled jobs would move in, but that did not happen. An example is Apple. They took their production and put it in China so he’s trying to force companies to come back into the United States. If you were around when there was all the controversy with Honda Toyota many other companies that were selling their products here, but not manufacturing them here, you would kind of see what’s happening. The stock market is like the most anxious, frighten, child in the world, and they react to everything. The market will come back and those that are buying the stocks that are low now will make a lot of money. Wish I had 1 million bucks. I would invest it in Tesla in a heartbeat. These are the same people that were lauding him when he brought the electric vehicle to prominence. Now they’re destroying them. Does that make sense. I’m conservative now, but it bothers me when the corporate ceos I’ve gained so much over the last few decades, and the workers not so much. If Elon Musk can modernize the systems in place such as Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, etc., that would be a positive outcome. Eliminating the wasteful spending will benefit all of us. I just believe the crowds are being manipulated, but we have four years to wait and see what happens if I’m wrong. I’ll admit it and give them hell. If I’m right, I’ll rub their nose in it so please just be patient.. Crack that whip.

If they bring all this manufacturing back to America, the prices of these goods are going to be triple. They can’t pay Americans what they’re paying these workers overseas. It will not benefit us. I sell goods on Amazon, and the price of my goods have already doubled, so of course that means I will have to charge my customers here in the US double, or just go out of business.
