Billionaire hedge funder John Paulson says he’ll yank his money from market if Kamala Harris wins election https://t.co/aotTM0opgl pic.twitter.com/kH4gxl37ry

Now to be completely fair all those lefty celebrities who say they’re going to move to Canada if Trump wins are lame too (even if there are certain people, like former Trump White House whistleblower Alex Vindman, who maybe legitimately should have a plan). Still, Paulson’s less like them and more like the Colorado slumlord who in October 2020 sent renters in a trailer park he owned a flyer reading “TO ALL TENANTS: Please understand IF Joe Biden is elected as our next President, everything you do and have to pay for will change completely. Everything will be increased” or the Florida factory owner who, the same month, issued to workers a memo reading “If Trump and the Republicans win the election, [this company] will hopefully be able to continue operating, more or less as it has been operating lately… However, if Biden and the Democrats win, [we] could be forced to begin permanent layoffs beginning in late 2020 and/or early 2021.'”
Meaning he’s just being a bitch because he’s scared his guy might not win, irrespective of the actual market conditions under Harris’s boss. Last we checked the Dow and S&P were at record highs.
