People are not happy after finding out how Donald Trump has been spending his time after his controversial ‘Liberation Day’ speech.
OK, so presidents have the right to engage in a little downtime, just like the rest of us do.
But social media users were not best pleased that after seeing the stock market lose $2 trillion in seconds, the president was away from the White House.

It all began when Trump stated that he wanted to boost his country's economy by implementing trade rates with international partners.
With many countries around the world facing 10 percent, 25 percent and more import rates, things have been getting heated in the aftermath.

China hit back at the US with additional tariffs, as it was one of many countries to be hit with the major new rates when Trump shared his plans to immediately implement these taxes on April 2.

Sharing his thoughts from the White House's Rose Garden, the POTUS said: "This is Liberation Day. We've been waiting for a long time, April 2, 2025, will forever be remembered as the day American industry was reborn, the day America's destiny was reclaimed, and the day that we began to 'Make America Wealthy Again'."
People in the US watched as the global stocks fell sharply and the US dollar decreased so much that it’s now in a six-month low because of the sweeping tariffs against trade partners.
The S&P 500 lost $2 trillion in market capitalisation as Trump announced sweeping reciprocal tariffs on as many as 60 countries.
With fears of a recession growing, some people have been left disgusted after seeing that Trump's been out on a golf trip.

The Washington Post reported: “A day after seeking to remake the global economic order, President Donald Trump on Thursday is returning to another priority: remaking professional golf.”
Trump is also said to have planned to dine with leaders of the LIV Golf tour just outside of Miami.
A Redditor was furious and accused Trump of using his own hotel to bring in profits.

One person wrote: “You mean trump earned 700k every time for fully booking his hotel with secret service personnel.”
Another wrote: “Of course he did, he doesn’t respect anyone. Not even himself since people will film him golfing and he can’t even do that.”
While people sit on the aftermath of the stock market dive, an old video of Kamala Harris shows how she seemingly predicted the whole thing during her run against Trump.
In the CNN clip, Harris stated: “What Goldman Sachs has said is that Donald Trump’s plan would make the economy worse, mine would strengthen the economy. What the Wharton School has said is Donald Trump’s plan would actually explode the deficit.”

She added: “16 Nobel laureates have described his economic plan as something that would increase inflation, and by the middle of next year, would invite a recession. You just have to look at where we are and where we stand on the issues, and I’d invite you to know that Donald Trump actually has no plan for you, because he is more interested in defending himself than he is in looking out for you.”
