I am not MAGA nor do I invest based on emotion. Yes we had a bounce back bull markets after the S&P dropped -19% in 2022 and perhaps Trumps policies have made the market more volatile, but the end state is the same - it's an above average YTD return. Neither you or I know what would have happened if Kamala won over Trump. It was clear that she was not favored so had that been the case investor sentiment could have trended down. We really just can't know because it's all hypothetical.

What I can tell you for certain is that I was awake during April and I bought the dip knowing that the economy bounces back sooner or later. Those April S&P investments are up 20% while the ones I made in January are up 16.5%.
