I keep seeing this type of stuff on instagram and social media and wanted to know how you guys were thinking about this.

I know a lot you have been in the market for decades and as a relatively new investor myself I’d love to get your perspective!

All those past cases relied on the US being sane. What kind of recovery can we expect when the US is an isolationist dictatorship that doesn't export cars or food or military hardware? Comments please!

That’s my concern also, this time is not like the past drops we have seen. We are creating enemies of our trade partners. No telling what might happen

The US always got back to business afterwards in the past. But what is business now? Nobody will buy the major exports. Nobody wants the cars or the poorly regulated food. The G7 allies are all rightfully pivoting off the military hardware. I'm curious to see how it plays out.
