Trump 1 also had no plan and most there were for their own gain in money or power, so they were ineffective and got barely nothing done. Trump 2 has the Project 2025/Curtis Yarvin plan and plenty of competent people to execute it. They prepared a shitload of executive orders and set up a system where sycophants can upload their CV to take government jobs when they fire people.
After he won I started reading more about who these people were and what they were planning to do and sold all my stocks after the inauguration, there was no way it was going to be a normal presidency, even compared to the last one.
- polishdude20 2y agoWhat did you do with the money from the stocks instead? Gold?
- Hikikomori 2y agoNothing, not a particularly active or savvy investor, had most in nvidia/amd (bought both around $15) and s&p 500 index. Gold and EU arms is obvious in hindsight. Just waiting for some of this to be over and I'll buy index funds again.
- epiccoleman 2y agoIf your prognosis is that index funds will be worth buying after this is over, doesn't that imply that they're a bargain now?
- Hikikomori 2y agoProbably. But I think its only the beginning of them fucking around like this, so far its just reactions on tariffs, we haven't seen the real impact yet. And unless congress stops them they're not going to stop.
- BenjiWiebe 2y agoNot if he expects them to keep going down as long as the current administration is in power.
- polishdude20 2y agoOh so you just have it all in cash in a savings account or something?
