If you want to bring up market performance, then we gotta talk about tariffs, and AI, and I was just with the family at Thanksgiving, alright?
Why? I didn’t vote for Trump, but 4 out of the 5 years he was in office my investments grew pretty substantially in a way that they didn’t under Obama and Biden, I can’t really count 2020 since there was somewhat of an external factor that year. Even still I didn’t lose, just didn’t grow as much.
If AI and tariffs don’t result in substantial market losses for me (and they haven’t yet) why should I care?
But if you are younger, perhaps with a chronic condition, in a job that doesn’t provide a health insurance benefit, and with minimal 401k…you are weighting ACA costs…and are in a demographic that historically votes more blue.
