U.S. President Trump was playing golf with his second son, Eric, at their own golf club when the U.S. stock market was experiencing a heavy decline, falling for two consecutive days and losing $6 trillion in market value. Although there are concerns from the public about this situation, insiders reveal that Trump's patience with the stock market crash is nearly at its limit. Eric stated on social media that those who quickly negotiate with their father will be the winners. Despite Trump emphasizing that he would not be affected by the stock market, aides pointed out that he is still closely monitoring stock market trends and has initiated discussions with Vietnam, India, and Israel to seek agreements before tariffs take effect.
President of the United States and his second son Eric took a golf cart together on Thursday to play golf at their private golf club. As the U.S. stock market has fallen for two consecutive days, panic among global investors is rising, but the president seems unfazed, having played two days of golf in a row. According to informed sources, in reality, his patience is nearly at its limit.
Eric stated on social media that whoever negotiates with his father first will be the winner. After announcing the shocking "reciprocal tariffs," the president promptly left the White House and returned to Florida to play golf. In other words, while the U.S. stock market lost more than 1,500 points and a total market value of $6 trillion in just two days, he chose to spend time on the golf course.
An unnamed White House staffer pointed out to the media that the president deliberately refrains from making public statements during stock market trading hours, but is also closely monitoring the market's direction. Another Republican political advisor stated, "The president will not be affected by the stock market, but like everyone else, he is paying attention to the market fluctuations." At the same time, those who have interacted with the president described him as having a calm attitude towards his tariff plan, believing that tariffs are merely part of economic policy and that related measures are still gradually taking shape.
However, another person who has been in contact with the president indicated that the stock market crash is approaching the president's threshold of tolerance. Reports suggest that the White House has recently received numerous calls from business owners and lobbying groups, but it remains unclear whether these calls will impact the president's tariff policy. Although trade advisors and the vice president insist that these tariff policies are long-term measures to change global trade, others familiar with the president believe this is just a means for him to achieve a deal.
Eric posted on social media, "I absolutely do not want to be the last person to negotiate with my father. The first person to come to negotiate is the winner, while the last could end up as the loser. This is a situation I’ve seen in my lifetime." A senior staffer revealed that the president has begun discussions with Vietnam, India, and Israel, and these dialogues are expected to facilitate bilateral agreements before the tariffs take effect.
