U.S. President Donald Trump and his son Eric played golf together at their own golf course on Thursday, just as the U.S. stock market had experienced a significant decline for two consecutive days, causing panic among global investors. Despite the market crash, Trump seemed unconcerned; according to informed sources, his patience with the stock market's decline is nearing its limit. Eric stated on social media that the person who negotiates with their father the earliest will be the winner. After announcing reciprocal tariffs, Trump returned to Florida to play golf and did not make any public comments on the stock market during this time, although he continued to monitor market trends. The White House has recently received numerous calls from businesses and lobbying groups, and it remains uncertain whether the tariff policy can be changed. A staff member indicated that Trump has started trade discussions with multiple countries, hoping to reach an agreement before the tariffs are implemented.

U.S. President Trump and his second son Eric shared a golf cart on Thursday, swinging clubs at their own golf club. Despite the U.S. stock market experiencing two consecutive days of decline, causing panic among global investors, Trump remained unfazed, enjoying his two days on the golf course.

However, informed sources revealed that Trump's patience with the stock market's decline is nearing its limit. Eric stated on social media that whoever can negotiate with his father first will be the winner. After announcing "reciprocal tariffs" on Wednesday, Trump immediately returned to Florida to play golf, an action occurring amid a situation where the U.S. stock market dropped more than 1500 points over two days, resulting in a loss of $6 trillion in market value.

An unnamed White House aide revealed to the media that Trump intentionally chose not to make public statements during U.S. stock trading hours but emphasized that Trump is still closely monitoring the market's changes. A Republican political aide stated, "The President will not be affected by the stock market, but like everyone else, he will pay attention to market trends." Another person who conversed with Trump during the stock market pressure described Trump's view on his tariff policy as quite calm, believing that tariffs are just part of a broader economic policy.

However, another individual who recently interacted with Trump pointed out that the extent of the stock market's crash is approaching a threshold that Trump cannot accept. Reports indicate that the White House has received numerous calls from business owners and lobbying groups over the past two days, but it remains uncertain whether these calls can prompt Trump to change his tariff policy. Although Trump’s trade advisers and his vice president insist that the tariff policy is a long-term measure to restructure global trade, others who know Trump believe it is merely a tool for his negotiations.

Eric wrote on social media, "I absolutely do not want to be the last person to negotiate with Trump. The first person to come to the negotiation table will be the winner, while the last one will be the loser. This is a long-standing scenario I have observed." A senior aide mentioned that Trump has begun discussions with Vietnam, India, and Israel, with such talks expected to lead to bilateral agreements before the tariffs take effect.
