President Trump, who shook the world with his global economic moves, faced criticism for his images on the golf course.

After igniting the fuse in global financial markets, President Donald Trump retreated until he emerged at a golf course in Florida.

During a time when the US economy was collapsing, Trump spent his time playing golf, dining with donors, and making carefree comments like “it’s a great time to be rich.”

According to the British newspaper The Guardian, this drew comparisons to the unsettling image of Emperor Nero fiddling while Rome burned or mad monarchies losing touch with reality. It also provided a clear example of how he governed during his volatile and extreme vice presidency: running from one chaotic public event to another, often surrounded by palace members who didn’t always agree with him and showing little regard for traditions.

Democratic strategist Kurt Bardella stated, “He is definitely living up to the image of a mad king caricature. Whether addressing people in a tuxedo in a ballroom, telling people to take a drug that causes them pain, or going on countless golf vacations while economic chaos rages in this country and others, at best you are completely disconnected.”

Bardella added, “At worst, you are a sociopathic narcissist who doesn’t care if anyone is suffering. There will ultimately be a political price to pay for this.”

Maggie Haberman, Trump’s biographer and a reporter for The New York Times, commented on CNN, “I think he stopped caring about certain things a long time ago and made it very clear that he will do what he wants during his presidency. He doesn’t convey that he understands what average people are going through right now.”
