Trump’s Inner Circle Parties While Economy Wobbles
While the stock market was taking a nosedive, Donald Trump was busy making money and the crowd hanging out with him didn’t seem too concerned about the chaos.
The New York Times shared a behind-the-scenes look at Trump’s latest event, held at one of his properties and packed with ways to cash in, from pricey souvenirs to access to the former president himself.
Despite the economic meltdown happening elsewhere, the mood on the ground was more “party weekend” than panic. Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund chief, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, was spotted enjoying the golf course and saying the club was “nice.”
The whole scene was more like a music festival than a golf tournament. There were DJ beats, booze flowing freely, and fans in MAGA hats lighting up cigars while casually watching the tournament.
Some attendees shrugged off the financial worries altogether. Mike Atwell, a restaurant owner from Florida, joked, “The sky is falling every day. When you’re happy, you drink. When you’re sad, you drink. It all works out.”
Another guest, entrepreneur Tyrell Davis, praised Trump for staying focused on business even as he’s back in the political spotlight. “It’s all about business and money,” he said. “America is a corporation.”
