Have been giving this a good deal of thought today. For me, as a foreigner living in CR the impact is most likely marginal (though there is an increased propability of a global trade war). The CAFTA nations have a trade surplus with the US which in Trump world means he’s winning. It would be incredibly stupid to slap tariffs on us…as long as that happens our economies should be okay. I have a nice portfolio (I expect a correction coming in 2025 but that was coming with either candidate).
My big concern are my kids and their immediate job prospects. Both are studying in the US and are hoping to work there after they get their degrees. Last time around Trump severely curtailed H1 visas (thanks Stephen Miller). I’m very nervous what happens this time around with the increased nativist rhetoric. Think it will boil down to who exerts influence in the Trump white House (the real MAGAS or the tech bros). So yeah, I’m concerned about my kids immediate future. One is a senior who graduates in June…additional stress for his job search. Dean's list, double STEM major…kid has worked his as off…expanded his search todsy to the UK, Canada or maybe getting a PhD.
