    Oh, I agree - in fact all your opinions are no brainers.

    It doesn't contradict shit. He destroyed the economy and fucked this country over. He will do it again and even worse this time around.

    In regards to the middle east, Netanyahu wants war. He needs it to stay in power. Trump will not talk him out of it.

    Trump is always going to find a peaceful solution because he's for sale. All any country has to do is pay him and he'll be okay with whatever it is they're doing.

    Our allies won't feel the need to pay him. So he'll have a problem with them. But that won't come to war.

    I remembered Trump talked about the executive branch taking over the Fed.

    Those of you hoping your 401K will help you through retirement, how do you feel about it being in the hands of a guy that went bankrupt six times?

    That's understandable. I do think there is a bit much of it. Some of it may be exaggeration, but there is a truth at the nucleus of it. When someone shows you who they are, believe them. A lot of things Trump said he is going to do, might not happen. Some won't. But, it's better being safe than sorry.

    This time around he isn't going to have people telling him no. Think about that. That's dangerous.

    Yeah, I don't think he will lead us into a nuclear war or anything. He wants to look good. I'm more worried about the cost of his actions later.

    He will likely gift Ukraine to Russia, and then Russia is right on the border with NATO countries. Putin is hoping they don't pay, because Trump has said he won't protect them if they don't. Though he will likely probably have to anyway if it comes to that. But, really it's a long game, and his actions can cost us and our allies dearly down the road.

    Oh for sure. NATO is screwed. So is Ukraine and probably Taiwan.

    Trump said to Tucker Carlson today that he'll kill the electric car in America and green energy...China will have that and we will have gas and oil. No more windmills either...that's a fixation of his. He wants the military to stop developing electric tanks and trucks as well. Trump just so happens to be heavily invested in coal, steel and oil stocks. Not sure if he's told Musk that yet.

    I don't think that's a given at all...there are many allies ready to defend Taiwan in the region including Japan. China will find itself in a longer conflict than they thought and suffer a lot of losses attacking Taiwan. China cannot afford a war and just watched Russia get mired in a long expensive one with no end in sight. England, Germany, Canada, Australia and others have sent warships through the Taiwan strait and had naval exercises with the Philippines etc....the Pacific Alliance is like NATO and Taiwan will not be alone if attacked even if Trump doesn't support them. We have military advisors there right now. South Korea is also part of the alliance, and they have a big modern military.

    I believe they'll hold themselves back after seeing Russia...I also believe NATO could kick Russia out of Ukraine without US involvement
