Cartoon: “If Trump wins…”

“If Trump wins we’re selling the house and moving to France. But, if he drops interest rates we’re moving back.” (Cartoon by Mike Mount)

Last week’s presidential debate led to the probability of a Trump victory rising in prediction markets.

Should the former president get elected to another term, there might be some chatter among Arlington’s most progressive residents of potentially moving out of the country — particularly among affluent progressives with the means to do so.

As the latest Mike Mount cartoon suggests, though, such a move may be temporary — particularly if change in economic conditions make a move back more favorable.
