All of this caused by one man: Donald Trump

"Yer doin' a heck of a job, Donnie" (ruining America's economy)

Waiting for LFTHANDTURDS/Goatman to spam the thread about how it's "the libs" or Biden behind all of this.

Normally a weak dollar would be good for the US tourism industry. Under Trump, no one wants to come. Trumps economic and foreign policies are already a disaster for America. And we're only 90 days in.

LOL.

I got completely out of the market right soon after election day 2024 and went to all cash, invested in fixed income assets.

A financial advisor from Edward Jones - who's been trying to get my wife and I to put our considerable assets in his hands - called again just Friday.

When he'd tried to reel us in last fall, I told him we'd have to see how the election turns out. That I didn't trust Trump as a caretaker of America's economy.

When he called last Friday, I reminded him of our conversation last fall when I told him I expected markets to tumble and economy to suffer because Trump's a willfully uninformed/unconcerned-about-anyone-but-himself caretaker.

The Edward Jones rep is now personally feeling the negative economic impact of Trump's actions.

He just called again.

All I could do was reiterate how inept, incompetent, and self-serving Trump is, to the detriment of Americans.
