Former U.S. President Donald Trump and his second son Eric were playing golf at their club on Thursday while the U.S. stock market fell over 1,500 points for two consecutive days, resulting in a $6 trillion drop in market value. Despite the stock market crash, Trump appeared unhurried and did not make public remarks during trading hours, although reports suggest he is monitoring the stock market trends. Trump’s tariff policy is viewed as part of his economic agenda, but the drastic decline in the stock market is nearing a point he may find unacceptable. The White House has received numerous calls from business owners, but it remains uncertain whether any policy changes can be made. Trump’s son, Eric, stated on social media that those who negotiate with Trump early will be the winners. Additionally, Trump has initiated discussions with Vietnam, India, and Israel in hopes of reaching agreements before the tariffs take effect.

The President of the United States shared a golf cart with his second son, Eric, on Thursday while playing at their own golf club. Despite the U.S. stock market crashing for two consecutive days, causing panic among global investors, the President appeared relaxed, playing golf for two days straight. However, according to insiders, he has reached his breaking point with the ongoing decline of the stock market. Eric stated on social media that whoever negotiates with his father first will gain the advantage. After announcing an eye-catching "reciprocal tariff," the President immediately returned to Florida to play golf, coincidentally at a time when the U.S. stock market had fallen more than 1500 points over two days, with a market cap wiped out of $6 trillion.

An unnamed White House staff member told the media that the President deliberately avoids making public statements during market trading hours and emphasized that he has been closely monitoring stock market dynamics. Another Republican staff member pointed out that while the President is not influenced by stock market fluctuations, he is still attentive to market developments. A person who has spoken with the President described him as remaining calm about his tariff plan, believing that tariffs are just a part of the overall economic policy, which is still taking shape.

However, others who have interacted with the President are concerned that the stock market's decline is approaching a critical point that he cannot accept. Reports indicate that the White House has received a large volume of calls from business owners and lobbying groups in the past two days, although it is not yet clear whether these calls will affect the President's tariff policy. Despite trade advisors and the Vice President claiming that the tariff policy is a measure to restructure global trade, those who know the President believe it is just one of the means.

Eric, who has been close to the President for a long time, wrote on social media: "I don't want to be the last country to negotiate with the President; the earliest to negotiate will be the winner, while the latest will be the loser. This is a scene I have witnessed my entire life." A senior staff member revealed that the President has already engaged in discussions with Vietnam, India, and Israel, which may lead to bilateral agreements before the tariffs take effect.
