I think this needs some context. Remember that in 2016 we didn't know how Trumps rhetoric works and how seriously he will push his agendas. Now we know about TACO and how he was held back by the adults in the room. How would you feel about the future if you thought the POTUS will annex Greenland and Canada, and impose tariffs of 100-200% globally?

I would keep the exact same asset allocation that I have now.
