Warren Buffett is a pragmatic guy. He bought a few billion dollars worth of shares since he believed the economy will do well under Trump. However, he speaks out against Trump's travel ban as he said that "immigrants saved US"
He calculated his odds of being born an American male at 80-to-1. "I was born lucky," the billionaire investor said.

Buffet is the classic hypocrite ruled by his pocketbook. He was/is anti-Trump but he's right there to financially benefit from Trump's actions. If he was truly liberal, he would refuse to profit as all moneys generated due to Trump are nasty and tainted.

Yes, that is true. The only thing consistent with Warren Buffett is his ability to make money. That is why I admire Ron Paul so much. he never changes his stand about Trump, and he knows that Trump is going to hurt the country far worse than any presidents before him. I agree with everything Ron Paul says.
Ron Paul says to expect an economic ‘downturn’ under Trump, not a revival

Former Congressman Ron Paul believes that an economic downturn is on the way under Donald Trump, he told CNBC recently.

Sooner or later karma will catch up, no need to worry about it. Those who vote for him will regret sooner or later, because they are going to pay a high price for all this craziness.

Well if the economy does well under Trump it may be his saving grace.

Actually it will not be a saving grace. The economy will do well for 4 years but at a cost to the future generations. All his projects, including the Mexico wall, will take up billions and billions, and all these will come from all of you in America. The next administration will have to clear the mess and get the money to repay the debt. People like Warren Buffett will count their billions and sell the stocks.

Good article. The Einstein and Szilard example should make people realize that immigrants are contributing to the richness of a country.

Warren Buffett choice of President is still Hillary Clinton. He said that she has the right temperament, though he has no comment on her ability.

Ya, he has mentioned it in one of the annual reports years ago. In fact, his annual reports are full of humor. He said that some things cannot be hurried. You cannot make a baby in one month by getting 9 women pregnant.
