Trump Strikes a Deal
Feb. 29, 2020 β U.S. and Taliban sign an agreement that sets the terms for a U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan by May 1, 2021, but do not release two classified annexes that set the conditions for U.S. withdrawal. At the time of the agreement, the U.S. had about 13,000 troops in Afghanistan, according to a Department of Defense inspector general report.

He may be. I hope so if he is going to lead my country.
Your libtard comment, although childish and unhelpful, is a great example of why politics in the US is in the state it is today. There seems to be a need to belong to the blue cult or the red cult. I do my best to look out for what is best for my family, and my neighbors. I don't vote blindly based on the party line. I try to vote for the best available person that I believe will get things done. Do you know that I didn't vote for Trump? I was terrified by Biden and a second term. I don't know his mental state at this point but it didn't look good from what I was seeing. My hope is that some day we can get rid of left/right thinking and do what is best for us now as well as generations to come. We were mostly given that by those before us. Are we as selfless as them?
You assume because I am not a fan of our current president that I can be pigeon holed into one of the two boxes fox news has presented for you?
Back to Lucid and doing business in America. Is it a good thing to give up the free market system that has worked for so long and built our country into the powerhouse it is today for isolationism and tariffs? Is the invisible hand dead? Do we no longer need an efficient market that seeks to reward the best of us? Was Ayn Rand wrong? Fascism and communism don't work. I want what I think is best for my country. I vote for the person, not the party, that I think can best achieve that. We have four years to see what he can do. I am hoping for all our sakes that he/they make the right choices and don't get in the way of free markets and hard working people.
Being respectful is a worthy goal. Give it a shot.

Companies will change their tactics and business models, in order to align with the direction of whichever party holds the majority.
The portfolios held by members of Congress have historically outperformed the best money managers on Wall Street. It would be foolish for big business to swim against the current.
The expression, "You can't fight the FED" exists for a reason. You can't fight against regulation, or in the case of this administration, deregulation, so watch where the big money flows and pay attention to where the winds of regulation blow, and invest accordingly.
Money is in the business of making more money, and they don't really care who is in office. That is for the proletariat to worry about.
