The Dow Jones dropped more than a thousand points on Thursday and Friday following the imposition of massive new tariffs scheduled to go into effect on April 9. After that, Trump headed to Florida, where a Saudi-backed LIV Golf Tour tournament was to take place at one of his golf clubs.
Then, on Sunday, aboard Air Force One, Trump declared that he had “won” the golf tournament.
Per The Daily Beast, Trump declared that he had “won” the Senior Club Championship at Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter. This is not to be confused with the LIV Golf professional tournament this weekend at Trump National Doral in a different part of South Florida.
“It was very good, because I won,” Trump said on Air Force One. “It’s good to win. You heard I won, right?”
