Some lines that interested to me I am putting together below---

President Trump is the most polarizing figure of all time.

If you say something good about him, half of people will hate you. If you say something bad about him, the other half will hate you. It is a no-win situation.

Trump, good or bad, is the most transformative president we’ve had in a really long time. The office will never be the same. Obama, Bush I and II, and Clinton all colored within the lines.

In a way, having Trump as president has made trading easier rather than harder. We know where Trump stands on just about every financial asset in the world. Trump doesn’t like tech. Short tech. Trump thinks drug prices are too high. Short health care.

Trump likes oil and coal and mining and such. Buy XLB XLB, -0.10% (a basic materials ETF). Trump hates Mexico and loves Japan. The list goes on and on and on.

Whether you like Trump or don’t like Trump, how about putting your feelings aside and focus on making money off Trump. That sounds like a far more productive use of your time.
