Would You Invest $100K w/ Trump or Obama?
Posted by: WingNut ()

I doubt Donald Trump will run for president, he is having more fun basking in his beloved spotlight and talking shit about our current shitty Commander in Chief.

Trump has been involved with some failed ventures, never declared personal bankruptcy but has had some of his investments go through reorganization. But in the end of the day, he's a money-maker with a pretty good understanding of economics, and the business world on small and grand scales.

Obama, on the other hand, is a lawyer and community organizer, with no significant legal victories and little to show for his constituents whose "communities" he helped "organize".

This is not a personality contest, if it was, I would give the edge to Obama, because I dislike Trumps egomaniacal narcissism so much.

The question-


You have $100,000...
It's your life savings...
You need to send your kid to college, etc in the next 10 years...

Would you trust the investment choices of Barack Obama or would you trust the investment choices of Donald Trump?

That's a stupid question. I would trust whomever is likely to win the presidency and invest accordingly.

What I am asking is- whose personal investment advice would you follow?

If Obama prefered one Mutual Fund to another or if Trump like a particular IPO, who would you roll with?

This is a dumb question.

Let say it is 2000 and you put 100K under Bush (MBA) and 100k under Obama (Law).

Put your money a very broad index fund that closely follows the Dow.

Under Bush you have $77,000 or 23% loss.
Under Obama you have $153,000 or a 53% gain.

It says nothing about them as presidents. If it did Obama would be one of the greatest.

Although not my favorite, Obama. Trump is not a sincere candidate, although I get a kick out of his New York style and he is a balsy bastard. I would go with Obama, although it is still very early and Trump can do a 360. Having financial difficulties in the past, can be a positive thing for a guy like Trump, because Im sure he benefitted from lessons learned, a failure can be as rewarding as a success, in te right circumstance.

The grim financial reaper is/has knocked on both doors.

One guy made deals with him so he could stay alive a little longer.

The other put him on the payroll and gave him universal healthcare.

One refuses to quit and the other refuses to start.

I'm going to go with the guy that doesn't put his vice president to sleep when he talks.

Chart above does not include Obamas term as prez, though that is not the point of the question.

Not a "red herring", but a hypothetical question. Not asking about presidency or any of that, just-

"WHO YOU WOULD TRUST A $100K INVESTMENT WITH AND WHY?"


No agenda at work here, just wondering.lol

Actually, the question you should be asking is would you invest $100K with John Boehner, because Congress controls the budget, not the President.

But it is a stupid question. Businesses aren't a democracy and private companies, like Trump's, are even less so. Trump probably answers to very few people. And he can dictate what he wants when he wants. Elected official, no matter how powerful, can't.

The question has nothing to do with who you are going to vote for, who has governmental power, etc.

Imagine the two as private citizens and that the investment is not an investment in the health of the economy, the government or Americas future as a whole.

Would you trust Barack Obama with your investment or Donald Trump?

It's a stupid question because why would I go to either one? Trump is not a very successful businessman historically, and Obama isn't any kind of financial adviser at all. He probably knows some good ones, but that's not really what you are asking. I would take either of their advice like I would take any random friend's advice about investments, with a grain of salt and a lot of research on my own.

He owned 2 adjoining parcels as his home. It's conceivable that he had 2 mortgages on his primary residence and took out another to finance the adjoining lot. The one that takes the cake is the Chairman of the Fed's med school son having over $400,000 in student debt.
