Former US President Donald Trump and his second son Eric recently played golf at their own golf club. Despite the US stock market crashing for two consecutive days, Trump responded calmly. Reports indicate that Trump's tolerance for the stock market's sharp decline is nearing its limits, and the White House has received numerous calls from business owners hoping to influence his tariff policies. Eric pointed out on social media that the first to negotiate will be the winner. Although Trump's trade advisors insist that the tariff measures are meant to restructure global trade, some believe this is merely a tool for Trump’s negotiations. Currently, Trump has initiated discussions with Vietnam, India, and Israel, hoping to reach agreements before the tariffs take effect.

The President of the United States and his second son, Eric, spent a leisurely midsummer time on the golf course, despite the U.S. stock market experiencing a sharp decline for two consecutive days, causing panic among global investors.

A White House official, who wished to remain anonymous, mentioned that the President chose not to speak publicly during trading hours and emphasized that he is very concerned about the changes in the stock market.

Another Republican political aide pointed out that while the President is not influenced by the stock market, he will still closely monitor its dynamics. With the market facing several days of selling pressure, some people who have had contact with the President indicated that the extent of the stock market decline is nearing the President's tolerance edge. Reports suggest that the White House has recently received multiple calls from business owners and lobbying groups, but it remains uncertain whether this will change the President's tariff policy.

Despite trade advisors and the Vice President insisting that the tariff policy is aimed at permanently restructuring global trade, some believe this is merely a strategy for negotiation employed by the President. Eric pointed out on social media that those who negotiate with their father ahead of time will win, while the last person to negotiate may fail. It is reported that the President has begun discussions with Vietnam, India, and Israel, which may help reach bilateral agreements before the tariffs take effect.
