If you have a 401k you can kiss it goodbye. Your investments are going to take a hit in general.

The entire Financial system is about to become hopelessly corrupt and unless you are also a crook you are not going to benefit from that.

Even if you are a crook you are probably not going to benefit because you're going to be competing with much much bigger crooks than we have ever seen in our entire lives.

No joke I have seen crypto scammers complaining the Trump is muscling them out of their own scam.

That's kind of the problem with putting oligarchs in charge. I know a bunch of people here voted for trump. You had your reasons, you fucked around and you're going to find out.

It looks like the worst of it though isn't going to hit until after the midterms. I recommend you blow through all your savings in anticipation for the super great Trump economy so I can buy your house for cheap from the savings I'm stockpiling in the lead up for the collapse.

No I'm just expecting doom. I don't have enough $$$ to make it worth trying to convert it to anything.

Anyway have the day you voted for.
