    This person is rich enough to own stocks. It’s good that they’re feeling some negative effects of what they voted for, but calling a 15 % dip in their portfolio “suffering” is kind of devaluing the actual human suffering that Trump’s policies are causing.

      Anyone who must be employed to survive is one of us, I’d say. Even “millionaires” understand that pressure. Still, it probably doesn’t matter if they have any realizations because they’ve all served their purpose to him.

        Millionaire is a pretty low bar these days, a salary worker reaching retirement age probably has a million dollar net worth.

          A million dollar net worth is barely enough to be comfortable in retirement in the U.S. You can pull $2500/mo from your investments, don’t forget about health care and the cost of dying. You’re also one medical claim denial away from bankruptcy.
