Once again, you talk without knowing anything. My three best years were 2010, 2015 and 2016 under Obama. One of my two losing years was under Trump and in that year I got stubborn shorting Goldman Sachs and paid the price with a losing year (it would have been profitable if I had just been faithful to my stop losses). I didn't get out because I got personally emotionally involved by shorting GS because I do not like the company. Goldman Sachs is like Trump, greedy and without scruples.
