If I could tell he was going to be a mess before the investors - I should have their jobs. For their entire gd job is predicting the market and I'm a sahm that is super not surprised right now.
Presidents get too much credit when the economy is going well, and too much blame when the economy is going poorly but this time the cause and effect is so apparent it can not be disputed. Here a tariff, there a tariff, everywhere a tariff; old McTrump had a policy. Eeeii, eeeii, ooo.
Trump's wants to erase all progressive legislation since 1933 & re-establish a capitalist state with laissez faire government that only has a police force for internal security & an army for external security with Trump as de facto king governing by edict. SCOTUS won't stop him. Next 2 elections?
And he won't be bailed out by massive stimulus and zero rates in addition to soaring Mag7 stocks that made it look like a strong market when in reality it was primarily just 7 Stocks skewing the S&P.
Gee, NOBODY saw this coming. How were we supposed to know he was going to impose these huge tariffs? How were we supposed to know he was going to do a bunch of crazy shit?
If only someone had written down a plan in advance and talked about it for 6 straight months...
So you're gonna have to live off the interest from your portfolio for a bit, bfd. I'm not renewing my club membership this year and we're leasing a 3 series. Boo hoo. Only two weeks in Vermont this winter and we're cutting Venice from our European tour in the Summer. Yall forgot how to rough it.

I'm not without sympathy for people about to retire.
It’s only going to get worse!
