“U.S. political violence is sadly a feature and not a bug. … The question now is how a nation, in which a significant proportion of citizens believe civil war is increasingly likely, will respond.” “We don’t expect there to be an initial reaction in financial markets. If anything, the near-term implication will be the acceleration of the consensus view in markets of a Trump victory.” Tina Fordham
