What the current White House administration is doing right now is akin to the short-term-gain-focused changes one would do in a company to please investors who want to short: * Remove or shrink employee (citizens) benefits * Stop investing on R&D (education), just ride on what you currently have * Alienate potential customer base and partners (other nations) * Drive away top performing employees (citizens, entrepreneurs) * Make sure your company is not attractive to new hires (alienate immigrants) * Increase long term debt by giving bonuses to already rich people (tax breaks to millionaires) This is going to come back to bite the country back in a decade or so, and it. Is. Not. Going. To. Be. Pretty.

I wholeheartedly disagree with your appraisal. But feel free to invest your money based on those assumptions because I'll be happy to take it from you. How is Trump removing citizen bnefits? Healthcare costs spiraled out of control under Obama. 100%+ increases! R&D? I have no idea where you're getting that from. Government shouldn't fund every single thing that every single person wants. Alienating other nations? No. Trump has made it clear that Americans will put our own interests front and center going forwards. Obama never once stood up for this country. Never. Once. Drive away top performing employees? Please. The rich people in SV and NYC are getting richer every second no matter who is in office. Unattractive to new hires? Putting American citizens interests at the front of the line. Increase long term debt. Stay tuned on that one, I have an inkling that the debt is going to fall soon. What is not going to be pretty are all the snowflake meltdowns over the next few years when each of you is proven wrong continuously.
