After several attempts to get you to comment on the gains you received from your stocks under Trumps's first year in office to no avail, the truth finally comes out in your above post(you restructured your portfolio to be Heavy in bonds several years ago). While investing in stocks is always risky, I have been more than pleased with the stock market growth in President Trump's first year. During Obama's eight years, workers saw the economy and  their annual income stagnate. If you surveyed today's workers, I don't believe they would call their wage increases and bonuses as "crumbs" as Pelosi has called them. They may be "crumbs" in the "lifestyle" she is accustomed to, but they are  much "appreciated dollars" to the average worker(something they had not seen in the last "eight" years). What did this country acctually gain by Obama adding ten trillion dollars to the National Debt)? We coiuld haver refurbished our aging infrastrucure ten times over and have money left to build the wall without having it included in this year's budget.
