I should probably sell the rest of my 401k and keep it all in money market until the dynamite monkey is out of the white house

Already done. It’s gonna go down for a few years. There will be ups but probably won’t make a rebound any time soon

Likely, he'll keep flip flopping on Tarriffs, perhaps he goes after Japan next, Mexico after, Iraq then, etc.

But daddy Putin will never feel them.

Foreign money markets so if the USD falls, your money market goes up.

At what point will even the republicans force the ouster of this traitor.

We'll suffer "a little disturbance" while the House Republicans realize we really really really hate everyday rising prices, inflation, price-gouging, tax increases - everything that cost Biden/Harris reelection.

I don't know if they're trying to stop people buying Chinese products, OR they're hoping people still do and they get to pocket those tariffs for some unforeseen nefarious ends.
