Donald Trump facing major backlash for what he posted on golf course while global markets plummet

Trump's latest actions have caused more anger among critics of his tariff policy.

Donald Trump has received significant backlash over a post he made while on the golf course amid global stock markets falling.

On Wednesday, Trump unveiled a series of new reciprocal tariffs on various worldwide countries on a day he dubbed as 'Liberation Day'.

The United Kingdom has been hit with a 10 per cent reciprocal tariff - the lowest amount on the scale.

The 47th US President has reasoned that he wants to reduce the gap between the value of the goods that the nation buys from other countries and the value of those it sells to them.

But many have questioned the White House's calculations of both the new reciprocal tariffs and the existing tariffs that other countries charge.

The impact of the tariffs have been quickly felt around the world.

The Telegraph report that the FTSE 100 - the leading UK stock market index - fell by as much as 6.3 per cent to a one-year low on Sunday.

And Hong Kong's Hang Seng market had its worst day in 28 years, falling by 13 per cent.

The US Dow Jones stock market index, meanwhile, was at its lowest level in eight months as of close on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Trump again played golf at the weekend - a common theme during the opening weeks and months of his second spell as President.

A video was shared to his Truth Social platform, which shows the 78-year-old playing a tee shot on an undisclosed course.

Reacting to the video on Twitter, one person said: "The economy is crashing. And what is Donald Trump doing? Golfing."

Another wrote: "The stupidity of posting these clips while the market is in a crisis. It's insane."

And a third joked: "President Trump is taking a well-earned, long weekend to relax at his golf club."
