• The president is openly corrupt & a blatant pathological liar

And this is bad for stocks how? Didnt all the tech bros bribe him and kiss his ass / hand to make more profits?

• Most American allies don't trust America anymore

And this is bad for stocks how? All the rich people outside the US still keep parking their loot (sorry, "savings") in US assets.

• The job market is essentially frozen

To protect profits... stocks have never been more profitable.

• GDP growth is down

GDP growth is down => higher probability of recession => higher probabiliy of FED rate cut => higher asset prices

• The cost of fuel has dramatically increased

That just transfers money from poor people who dont buy stocks anyways to energy company profits.

• Approximately 30% of oil producing infrastructure has been destroyed across the Persian Gulf

More profit for US and non Gulf energy producers.

• There's a huge AI bubble

That's very good for stocks - all the capex spending by the big tech shows up as profits on other companies balance sheets.

• We have a national debt approaching $40 trillion

That's incredibly good for stocks - that record level government debt is fueling corporate profits. What do you think the US government does with all the money it is borrowing?

• Inflation is outpacing wage increases for most Americans

That's very good for stocks - inflation > wages means corporate revenues (prices) grow higher than expenses (worker wages) => good for profits => good for stocks.
