Trump’s recent actions, including new tariffs on global markets, have sparked anger from critics.
On Wednesday, he announced reciprocal tariffs on several countries, including a 10% tariff on the UK, calling the day ‘Liberation Day.’ Trump stated the tariffs aim to reduce the trade gap, but many question the White House’s calculations.
The tariffs have had an immediate global impact, with the FTSE 100 dropping 6.3%, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng plummeting 13%, and the Dow Jones hitting an eight-month low.
Despite the economic turmoil, Trump was seen golfing over the weekend, a move criticized by some on social media. One Twitter user commented, “The economy is crashing. And what is Trump doing? Golfing.”
