Trump tariffs live updates: ‘Only the weak will fail,’ Trump says as markets fall

As markets tumbled and fears of recession grew, Trump had no public events and spent most of it playing golf at the Trump International Golf Club.

Trump arrived at the golf club at 9:45 a.m., according to the pool traveling with him, and left the club around 3:30 p.m.

However, on Friday afternoon, he posted a five word message in all caps post on Truth Social.
