Donald Trump opened on Tuesday, July 29, to the sound of Cornemuse, a new course in his golf complex in Balmedie, on the east coast of Scotland on Tuesday, the last day of a rich stay in diplomatic and commercial ads.
The US president, interested in golf, cut the tape himself, in the presence of his children Donald Jr and Eric, leaders of the owner of the family company of the premises, before interpreting his characteristic dance in the “YMCA” tube of the celebrity village.
“It’s going to be great. I can’t wait to play it today. We’re going to make a fast game, then I’ll return to Washington and we’ll put fires around the world,” said the billionaire in front of a guest board, including the Scottish prime minister John Swinney.
“We did it yesterday, we ended a war,” he continued referring to the high -fire agreement concluded between Thailand and Cambodia, according to the US media The Hill. “We have finished about five wars, it is much more important than playing golf,” said Donald Trump.
“The 36 most incredible holes on the planet”
Shortly before, the sound of the bagpipe resonated in the spectacular landscape of the dunes by the North Sea, while the Republican leader recalled his family ties with Scotland, his mother’s native land.
“We wanted them to be the 36 most incredible holes on the planet. And there was no doubt that it was achieved,” said his son, Eric Trump.
Donald Trump hit the first ball in the new course. The president continues to praise his qualities as a golfer, however, the talents put in perspective by many specialists in this sport.
The former promoter never completely loses his private interests. From his return to power in January, opponents and NGOs accused him of using his official function to promote, in one way or another, family issues.
The new course, according to a document distributed to the press, offers “the largest natural bunker in the world”, “dunes” and vegetables with water views. It was designed “with special attention to respect the environment.” However, the authorization of this second trip by local authorities at the end of 2019 had aroused the dissatisfaction of certain chosen residents and environmentalists.
