I'm a bit worried about the stock market.

There was a "Trump bump" in November but since then it has been going down, down, down.

Gotta think his talk of tariffs and extremist political appointments is scaring folks, understandably.

The question: how will the stock market fare under his watch?

It should do well under his watch but do t go straight up. Right now lots of end of year tax selling going on. Think longer term.

Trump will make money conning his true believers out of their money regardless of what the stock market does.

So he’s going to follow Obama’s example you say?

I’m always worried about the stock market. It never makes much sense to me. A company worth $100 billion announces its earnings exceeded estimates, but its price falls. Some genius on TV says they missed their ‘whisper number’. The post election soar was attributed of course to the election results. But now if the actual rules and regs Trump cuts to make it easier for businesses to thrive actually work, but stocks don’t go up more, it will because the value was ‘already built in’ to the stock price. My point is I KNOW I’m up a lot due to the election result, but if you made me guess what will happen during the next 4 years, who the f… knows?

My guess? Up 28.6% from 11/2024 to 11/2028.

If you think that is what Obama did, and you think Obama is evil, why is Trump emulating Obama a good thing?

Actually Trump isn't really emulating Obama. Obama became a millionaire because of his getting into politics. It has cost Trump tens of millions after he got in.

I chuckle at many of Trump's proposed appointments: I call them the "Clown Corps."

Apt.

President-elect Donald Trump has been ordered to spend up to four hours answering questions under oath as part of his lawsuit against ABC and host George Stephanopoulos.

Trump filed the defamation suit earlier this year after Stephanopoulos said during an ABC broadcast in March that a jury found him civilly liable for raping former Elle columnist E. Jean Carroll at a New York department store in the 1990s.

A jury instead found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll and defaming her by denying that an assault took place. But Judge Lewis Kaplan, who oversaw the trial,

Considering you're abysmal record at calling anything else in politics correctly why would you think anybody would pay any attention to what you have to say about politics. In fact given your record you calling them clowns in reality means it's probably the best cabinet ever chosen in the history of the country. The clown in your life is the one you see every day when you shave.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
