long term I mean 10, 20, 30 years.

Some people say yes, because my horizon are these years, long after trump is gone, but I wonder if I should wait till after the midterms or after the presidential election.

      The best time to buy for any long-term strategy is now, rather than waiting for some perfect moment that will never come.

          That could be years out, and we can only guess at what exactly the fallout will be. The best time to start a long-term investment is still now.
