Good. I hope he makes all lefties poorer

I don't think political persuasion is a prerequisite to investing in the stock market. In fact, investors with funds tend to be more right-leaning than the average Joe.

^ I dunno dude, think he’s doing what he’s doing out of ego. No diplomacy and with the behaviour of a spoiled child, and a xenophobic one at that. Went with it last time and defended the bloke, but it’s just too much. He’s old and will be dead soon, but has already mentally taken the human race back a big step. 

In your opinion.

In my opinion Trump is the classic result of a broken society. In other words the US created Trump to be where he is. The last election was a choice between bad and very very bad. The less bad won.

What sort of insane society ends up with a choice between a flawed rich man and a cackling idiot?

If we can look beyond the shouting and crying, how did US politics become so broken that no reasonable person with sane policies can win the election ( or even tries )?

Why is it that such discussions almost always get around to the stock market? It's not something most people get involved in. Far as I'm concerned it's just gambling for rich people that is rigged for the house ( the 1% ) and riven with insider trading.
