Trumps Plays Golf while his Tariffs Cause Economic Turmoil

Just two days after sending shockwaves through the economy with his announcement of widespread tariffs, President Donald Trump remains steadfast in his trade policies, seemingly unaffected by the chaos he has caused. As the markets plunge, with the S&P 500 down 6% and the Dow down 2,200, the situation is being described as the worst crisis since COVID-19 hit.

Despite the turmoil, President Trump, surrounded by his bubble of wealth and power in Florida, shows no signs of backing down. Treasury yields on the 10-year Treasury has dropped to 4.01%, a significant decrease from earlier this year.

Waking up at his luxurious Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach on Friday morning, President Trump wasted no time in heading to his nearby golf course, all while proclaiming on social media that “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH.” His decision to spend the weekend at his opulent properties may test the patience of Americans struggling with evaporating retirement savings and a plummeting stock market.

Critics, including Senator Ben Ray Luján, have voiced their concerns about the President’s priorities, questioning his choice to play golf while the country faces economic uncertainty. With fears of increased prices, slowed economic growth, and a potential recession looming, many are calling for President Trump to listen to the concerns of the American people and take action.

In the midst of this turmoil, the nation waits anxiously to see how President Trump’s decisions will impact their lives. Will he heed the calls for change, or will he continue to forge ahead with his controversial trade policies? Only time will tell.
