I guess to these people it is just politically correct that they stand on neutral ground and not favor any particular company.

It is obvious that he does not need the money within the next few years. I assume he has greater access to the state of the economy than most. By not trusting to have at least 60% of his money in US stocks, he saying that the US stocks will surely tank even more during the next few years. This scares me a lot. Since he is the world’s greatest leader, maybe we should all take his lead and get out of the US stock market like he has basically done.

It would be so sweet to have book royalties like that. I can't wait to read his post-office book. And the girls are sooo set it's not funny! That is an awful lot to hold in US debt, though.

I am sure their girls will go to school on some kind of scholarships too so the money in the 529 might be a waste. Hard to believe they have all their money in treasuries... hmmm. No wonder why he didn't really care that the stock market tanked everytime he spoke during his first 100 days. Of course they are set.

I did not include the education funds since it was not disclosed what they were invested in, and I considered that belonged to the kids.

It must be nice to hold such conservative investments, but considering the pension they'll get and all the speaking stuff they'll do after the "president" gig I'd say they're set.
