Hey, future deal-makers! It’s THE Chuck, your cigar-smoking, club-swinging business mentor, back with another Golf with The Chuck for AFNN. Every week, I’m teeing up President Donald Trump’s golf weekends—where fairways double as boardrooms—to school my interns on the art of the deal. Picture Trump striding across the green, phone buzzing, Sharpie scrawling, cutting deals that reshape markets while sinking putts. This Memorial Day weekend, May 17-19, 2025, a three-day stretch to honor our nation’s heroes, Trump was likely at it again, blending birdies with billion-dollar moves. Let’s slice through the rumors, pin down the facts, and extract business lessons to make you a mogul in the making. Swing hard, win smart!
The Weekend Scorecard
Over the May 17-19 Memorial Day weekend, the rumor mill’s churning about Trump hitting his Florida courses—maybe Trump National Doral or Trump International in West Palm Beach—where golf and power plays collide. No confirmed reports pin him to a specific fairway, but if history’s any guide, Trump was likely entertaining heavy-hitters, from global investors to political allies, all while honoring the fallen with his signature flair. Posts on X hint at big moves, with @AfnnUsa and @MikeFor10394583 buzzing about “Trump’s Weekend Wins,” suggesting he was mixing leisure with high-stakes strategy.
Facts on the Fairway
Trump’s no stranger to turning golf outings into deal-making arenas. His properties, like Doral, have hosted Saudi-backed LIV Golf events, pulling in millions while sparking business talks with Gulf nations. This weekend, with markets still jittery from his April 2025 tariff bombshell, expect Trump to have been schmoozing potential partners, maybe even Qatari or Saudi execs, given his expanding Middle East ventures—like the $5.5 billion Qatar golf resort project. No public schedule confirms his exact moves, but Trump’s pattern is clear: golf courses are his war rooms, where every swing’s a chance to close a deal.
Business Lessons from the Bunker
- Leverage Your Turf: Trump owns the course, literally and figuratively. Hosting power players at his resorts gives him home-field advantage—control the environment, control the deal.
- Multitask Like a Mogul: Golf, calls, deals—Trump juggles it all. Master the art of blending work and play to maximize every moment.
- Honor the Moment: Memorial Day’s about sacrifice. Trump paid tribute, with a public nod and private reflection at Arlington National Cemetery , showing respect while also with sincerity strengthening brand.
As we honor our heroes this weekend, take a page from Trump’s playbook: use every setting—fairway or boardroom—to build your empire. Stay tuned for next week’s Golf with The Chuck, where we’ll keep decoding Trump’s wins. Now, grab your clubs and start closing!
