    I don’t unfortunately. I hope I’m not blindly spreading misinformation but it was a comment from another user who was pushing back on the idea that vanguard supports Trump in any way. They were saying it was essentially what I said, just picked up by vanguard as it hit some high mark.

      No worries. Personally based on my experiences, Vanguard funds are pretty well managed and even the riskiest funds wouldn’t be over indexed on a given stock.

      For instance, with $VOOG, only three out of the over two hundred holdings are over 10% by weight. Companies like Amazon, Meta, and Google didn’t even make the cut for 10%. Even if $DJT was included in a Vanguard fund, I would be surprised if the shares of that fund moved significantly in response to $DJT losing value.
