With it we are getting more weird and strange diseases (Zika), infrastructure is crumbling (lead in water) 3rd world countries are collapsing (refugee crisis), pollution is becoming unbearable (China) and the UN is bursting at the seams (Syria, N. Korea and Iran). There are only two plausible outcomes:
1. WWIII is not started during this administration, but climate change continues at an exponential rate, 3rd world collapse continues with it, and instead of any assistance to the problem we batten down the hatches and build a yuuge wall.
or
2. WWIII is started.
But either way Armageddon is the destination, you were told this 2,000 years ago, you were warned the world is a "condemned house" and that you need to leave.
Like Ohio shared, every reference to money in the NT says to "give it to the poor".
You would be idiotic to think that "investments" can be smart.
1. Trump said the US cannot go broke because we print the money. That means his solution is hyper inflation which means any investments you have ultimately become worthless. I realize this could kick off thousands of words about the value of commodities, but remember if that is your path make sure you have a gang of 20+ mad maxes with machine guns attached to the rear of jeeps with jerry cans of gas to make it through the apocalypse.
2. Regardless of how "smart" your investments are that is on the most temporary of temporary scales. In light of eternity the best investment is to give the money to the poor. There it is stored where rust, moths and hyper inflation cannot get it, just as Jesus said.
If you are not worried about your investments and you are not worried about Armageddon, then you don't need to hyperventilate about the administration, and you can rest in peace.

You addressed a few of the crises we face today, esp. money, but acc. to prophecy, the center of it all is the little nation of Israel. All of my progressive friends are in an uproar over Trump's unilateral action in Syria, but who gave a hoot about the Resolution against Israel two days before Christmas? in an act of betrayal that makes Benedict Arnold look like part of the J.V. team? One day soon that very resolution will be used to justify a multilateral attack on Israel resulting in Armageddon.
Evangelical attacked Trump for punishing Syria over the use of WMD's without UN approval. Is he serious? China, France, UK, and Russia all agreed to the security council condemnation of Israel for building houses, yet where oh where was the slightest of outrage around the UN at the video of children gassed by Assad?
