Politically It Seems The Country Is Slipping Into Chaos.

The country looks like it is beginning to cartwheel out of control. No one is at the helm at ship of state. We are so vulnerable right now internationally.

He was only dangerous before to his business associates/victims before, now he's president and is dangerous to the nation and the world.

People think the USA will be a dominant country forever. If that happened it would be a first.

The bulk of the republicans see that orange jerk as a useful idiot.

The cruelness of many on the right is stunning. Their actions will cause death and pain to many people but they just want to line the pockets of themselves and their filthy rich backers.

If I was invested in any US stock or USD, I'd sell or hedge that investment immediately, especially after what happened in recent days. I don't understand why the stock market is up (a lot) since election day. Finance sector deregulation?

Or maybe EU, Asia markets look just as bad (seeing how Putin threatens the EU and Trump China/the NK situation) so there's no better place to invest in? I don't feel that way, but maybe that's just me.
