"I don’t believe we need to spend 2% of our GDP on military spending, as we need that money for other things, including the climate emergency . . . The idea that we should now move to 5% of GDP is a destructive and nihilistic fantasy, pouring fuel on the climate fire."

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.
So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.
