As markets braced for another meltdown triggered by President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs, Democrats hammered the president for spending the weekend golfing rather than responding to Americans' fears that their retirement accounts are plummeting with the markets.

Trump left Washington, D.C., for Florida on Thursday to attend a LiV Golf Tournament dinner ahead of a tournament at his Doral club in Florida. On Saturday and Sunday, he played in a club championship at his Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter.

On Thursday, the first trading day after Trump announced the tariffs, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted nearly 4%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq declined almost 6%. On Friday, the downward spiral continued with the Dow falling by 2,230 points, or 5.5%, while the S&P 500 plunged by 6%.

Dow futures opened Sunday evening down 1,500 points, or 4% percent., while the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 futures were also down 4%. Democrats criticized Trump's apparent lack of concern at Americans' anxiety surrounding the tanking markets. "I think people have seen their retirement savings on fire. And there he is out on the golf course," Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." "That may end up being the most enduring image of the Trump presidency, that is, the president out on a golf cart while people's retirement is in flames."

3. America's Nero flailing at golf balls with all the "grace and style" of a twisted windmill in a hurricane

While people’s lives burn. 🤬😡
His grotesque sociopathology on full repellent display.

4. As with everything else: When Trump plays golf, the game ruins itself.

5. And the country burned

Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Trump golfed while destroying the economy!

6. And he doesn't care one whit.

Seriously, he actually enjoys this because it shows him all the power he has.

Never think for one minute that he cares. He doesn't have the ability to.

13. The Silence of the RWNM

Every time Clinton/Obama/Biden took a mental health break, Fox et al were on their shit. Obama for playing Golf specifically.

Their hypocrisy and agenda are transparent, but since they operate a closed media ecosystem, they never have to worry that their propaganda victims will learn or care.

14. He couldn't bother to go to Andrews AFB, either. . .

. . .to visit the families and the coffins of the 4 US soldiers who died in Lithuania.

To me, that was a thousand times worse.

15. "I love chaos" clearly has no use for USA, it's people, it's rule of law, or it's future. The "enemy within" is him. nt

16. The Time Is Now!!

All this verbal BS condemning the IDIOT for not giving a shit and playing golf is not going to solve anything. We need sharp minds to step up and quickly figure out how to stop him and his cronies cold in their tracks. We need him to be removed from office maybe by military means. Someone with a solid knowledge of the law must figure out a way to charge him with serious unrevokable crimes, something that pulls him from the White House and slaps him in chains. Rich billionaires whining, chairmen of the boards wringing their hands, CEO's of stock management companies voicing their worries, all this doesn't cut it.
