Winning.
While true, it's not really fair to attribute the march 2020 covid drops to Trump. Every market on earth tanked, and there wasn't much any admin could've done to stop it.
This however, was 100% in Trump's control and is 100% self-inflicted. Has any US admin ever tanked the markets entirely on their own, in all of history... I mean, apart from the Republicans ~100 years ago (hilariously, also with Tariffs)?

Rich people are loosing imaginary money.
Poor people, prepare to be punished -
If you have cash tucked away, moments like these are a time to buy. Think of it like a Steam sale for your future pocketbook.
I picked up a few thousand shares of oil stocks in March 2020 for 50-75 cents, sold them for $12.50 in 2023 (thanks Permian Resources) and then paid off my student loans and put a down payment on a condo.

That’s only true if there’s an end in sight.

Respectfully, you have to ignore centuries of history if you think there isn't, and the fact that all of this has happened in the US before and it recovered.
All it takes is patience, but it's important to remember that you only get a handful of buying opportunities in a lifetime. They don't come around often enough to ignore.

Of course humanity as a whole will continue. That doesn’t mean you, personally, are immune from the chaos and death that fascism brings.

Must be nice to have money to invest for some later day when most people are trying to cover their bills today.
