Market Mayhem
Well, as they say: that’s that! The GOP has re-captured the Presidency, the Senate, and perhaps the House (it’ll take longer for those results).
Winners and Losers
I am typing these words at about 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, and it seems utterly evident that Trump and the GOP in general are going to control the government. Besides the obvious winners and losers, I’d be curious as to your thoughts in general as to what people or entities are going to win or lose from this result. Off the top of my head, just a few:
Winners
- Elon (and Tesla, SpaceX, and X.ai)
- Aileen Cannon
- Right-wing of Supreme Court
Losers
- Illegal immigrants
- Ukraine
- China
- LGBTQ+
- Jerome Powell
What are some of your own suggestions?
