although apparently the rape thing and being an overall creep was never an issue.
Well that is because the rape or creepiness didn't happen directly to them or an immediate family member. There is no empathy with trump voters.

Because you won't remember the rape if you pretend to stay asleep?
They do life by the numbers, and if they have a solid start and a stable background they become very detached from the real world, floating in that middle class bubble. They hold opinions that were injected trough media as their own, and don't question them. When the real world pops their bubble, they are very surprised and have to do intense mental gymnastics blaming it on a cat eating immigrants.
That damn cat needs to stop eating all the immigrants!
It's because those god damn democrats keep refusing to empty the litter box.
If they live on Long Island they've seen the houses they brought for under $100,000 in 1980 balloon to over $1 million today.
Literally had to do nothing to have their assets inflated.
Generally the more monetarily successful people reach that point by being selfish, so it would make sense that they don't care about others and only start to care when it affects them personally.
People who are not selfish can become wealthy, it is just a lot less likely because they tend to spread the wealth.

It's probably more like they don't earn it in the first place because they aren't as willing to fuck over coworkers et al. to get ahead.
Moved my retirement fund from stocks to all cash yesterday. Orange doofus is going to cause even more issues for stock markets in the next few weeks.
Maybe or maybe not. Being long-term invested (>15 years) will solve this issue for you. Studies suggest you probably realized a loss and will also miss the entry point when stocks are going up again. Remember folks, time in the market beats timing the market.
Will review in early April. See if this tariff bullshit happens or not.
If you went to cash, perhaps you should move to treasuries instead to get 4-5% return in the meantime?
Otherwise, find mutual funds with exposure to euro markets to stay in the game. Time in the market will outperform timing the market. The market can remain irrational longer than you can afford to stuff cash under your mattress.
My advice would be to become an arms dealer or to hire an expert hacker but all my financial know-how comes from 80s action films.
