Great. So I assume you made massively leveraged bets to short the stock market and are now rich?

Or maybe you didn't, because talk is cheap, and you didn't actually know anything. Because nobody knew anything.

Please take this kind of talk elsewhere. Trump didn't even win 50% of the vote. But regardless, insulting entire nationalities is never called for.

I did expect the stock market to go down, and sold quite some stocks at high point before the recent turndown.

I didn't place massive leveraged bets, because I am not an idiot.

Wait. Your argument for why people weren't prepared for a second Trump admin being worse is... that they didn't think to get rich off of it?
