33. Agree, Trumpism is terrible business.

Trump is emboldened compared to his first time where he was largely controlled by establishment Republicans. Trump's brand of right wing populism is inflationary and destabilizing to the global economic system. Trump has implied Taiwan (biggest producer of computer chips of which our tech industry is reliant) won't be protected. Trump is rabidly anti-China, which is still largely the world's factory where many low cost goods that consumers and businesses rely on come from. Trump is pro-Putin, who wants to bring down the Western led global order. Basically, Trump is terrible for business and many on Wall St etc who thought he'd be great are going to find out.
