    The reason for investing rather than saving cash, should be part of a long term plan for your finances.
    Normally for money that will not be needed for many years, investing will normally beat returns for cash.
    So as it is a long term venture, what is happening today in the news is not that relevant, although admittedly sometimes difficult to block it out.

    Short term noise shouldn't impact on any decision.    US equities are currently cheaper than before Trump.  Rest of the world is more expensive.

    Banks rarely have decent investment products (there is an exception to that).
