U.S. President Trump and his second son Eric recently played golf at their own golf club, while the U.S. stock market experienced a two-day plunge, causing panic among investors. However, Trump appeared calm, ignoring the fluctuations in the stock market. A White House aide stated that Trump is focused on the stock market, but will not be influenced by it. Trump is engaging in trade negotiations with multiple countries, hoping to improve tariff policies. Eric revealed on social media that those who can negotiate with their father first will be the winners. Despite the criticism of Trump's tariff policies, his advisors emphasized that the policies are important measures for the restructuring of global trade.
The US President and his second son took a golf cart together on Thursday to play at their own golf club. Despite the US stock market crashing for two consecutive days, causing global investors to panic, the President seemed very calm as he played golf for two days straight. According to insiders, the current stock market plunge has pushed the President's patience close to its limits. The second son even mentioned on social media that whoever negotiates with his father first will be the winner.
After announcing "reciprocal tariffs," the President happily returned to Florida to play golf the next day—in other words, even though the US stock market dropped by more than 1500 points over two days, erasing $6 trillion in market value, he still chose to spend his time on the golf course. Within the White House, aides pointed out that the President deliberately refrained from making public statements during stock market trading hours and emphasized that he is closely watching the stock market developments.
A Republican political aide stated, "The President is not affected by the stock market, but he will also pay attention to the market situation." Meanwhile, someone who had a conversation with the President during the stock market pressure described him as having a calm perspective on his tariff plan, believing that tariffs are just part of economic policy, and that related policies are still being shaped. However, another person who interacts with the President indicated that the extent of the stock market crash is approaching the limits of what the President can endure.
Reports indicate that the White House has received a large number of calls from business owners and lobbying groups in recent days, but it is still unclear whether these calls will influence the President's tariff policy. Although trade advisors and the Vice President insist that the tariff policy is a long-term measure to reshape global trade, others who know the President believe this is merely a tool for him to achieve deals.
The President's second son posted on the X platform, saying, "I absolutely do not want to be the last person to negotiate with the President. The first person to negotiate is the winner, while the last may end up being the loser. This is what I have witnessed." A senior aide pointed out that the President has begun discussions with Vietnam, India, and Israel, and these discussions are expected to facilitate bilateral agreements before tariffs take effect.
