Some of Trump's policies - lowering illegal immigration, cutting size of govt, tax cuts - all go to help the country and MC+. The rest of it - targeting people he doesn't like, christian nationalism, no more elections, etc. - I hope are fringe elements and won't see the light of day. This too shall pass.
I've never voted R and did not vote for T, BTW.

Expanding tax shelters for billionaires and cutting the size of government do not help me, no.

+100. but DCUM gonna DCUM.

My Belgian friend said she wasn’t even going to tease me about Trump, given the shtshow occurring in several European countries right now. Their right wing movement is no joke, either.

Spain’s golden visa program is ending - but again, don’t run there to get away from fascism. The fascists aren’t in presidency but they are in lots of local and state (autonomies) and there’s plenty of support for them.

Beware of the taxes in these European countries. They have agreements with the IRS so you don’t get taxed twice — but you will owe your taxes to them if you live there and they not only have higher income taxes, some don’t recognize our financial vehicles (trusts, 401ks, Roth) and some have wealth taxes.
