As a non American investor, here’s how I honestly feel about U.S stocks these days.

I'm not American, but I've been investing heavily in the U.S. market. Nearly 80% of my assets are in U.S. stocks. I believe in great capability in technology of Big tech and the solid foundation of the U.S. financial system. Most of all, I trust in the long-term growth of the S&P 500, especially thanks to things like the 401(k) system.

Even though Trump is currently making noise about tariffs and seems to be hurting market sentiment, I see it as a temporary disruption — something that will pass.

But here’s what genuinely concerns me: ***What if Trump's actions actually reflect the broader will of the American people?***

In that case, someone similar — like J.D. Vance — could be elected in the next election, and we might see even more isolationism and unilateralism from the U.S.

If that happens, I might have to seriously rethink my trust in the U.S. financial system.
The reason I don’t invest in China is because I don’t trust the Chinese government. I really don’t want to feel the same way about the U.S.

As an American, how do you see this?
