There's a lot of rhetoric on both sides of the aisle as to who would be better for the economy -- Biden or Trump? Does the President really make a difference for an economy like the US's? Especially in 2020? I'm unsure -- it seems that we have a true establishment candidate (Biden) with decades of DC experience going agains the quasi-authoritarian reality show star (Trump) who really is limited in his power to improve the economy. 

Biden's not going to go far left -- he's a true corporate Dem. Trump wants the economy to do well, but he's just one man and the economy depend on a myriad of factors, such as productivity, sentiment, and political stability. Regardless of who wins, investors should be worried form a purely investment-focused perspective. 

From a more systemic and long-term perspective, however, things might be more ominous. If political stability and rule of law in the US is undermined, everyone will suffer greatly, including investors.

And I've finally got a proper mic. Hear my thoughts on the Trump situation without all the political nonsense that fills the media. 

This first Presidential debate for the 2020 election cycle was unusual -- it was filled with interruptions and was different from the typical US Presidential Debate (not primary debates, which are often absurd and seem to be organized more for ratings than for informing the public). We need to care about American traditions more than we do now - we can't simply require things to be written down for them to be a part of our nation's "way of being." A small rant on un-American speech policing to close off the episode.
