Trump opens new luxury golf course in Scotland

Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Well, that is a beautiful sound and we want to thank them. What talent you have young ones and you have little older ones and they’re going to be the young ones are going to be doing that for 60 years just like the little older ones are doing and I want to thank them very much. Great group. Heard them last night. I also want to thank uh your first minister who’s here, John. Would you stand up? John Swinny. He’s a terrific guy and loves golf and loves the people of this uh of this country and we really appreciate it. You’re really a very special guy. Thank you very much for everything, John. My son Eric has worked so hard on this and it’s been truly a labor of love for him and we started with a beautiful piece of land but we made it much more beautiful and uh the area has given us they’ve really welcome welcomed us if you remember at the beginning it wasn’t quite a welcome but it wasn’t bad but with time they’ve liked us more and more and now they love us and we love them and they’ve really put it out and they know how good this whole complex is it’s Trump International. We have the first course which we call the old course and the second course which we call the new course because that’s the best way to describe uh anything else gets too complicated. They don’t know which is which. But they know the old and the new and it’s going to be uh something very special and the big question is which is going to be better if there’s such a thing because we’ve had such great ratings on the first. I don’t know if you can match them on the second but the second should be every bit as good. the land is of equal quality right on the North Sea and it’s going to be really it’s going to be great. I look forward to playing it today. We’ll play it very quickly and then I go back to DC and we put out fires all over the world. We did one yesterday as you know we stopped the war but we stopped about five wars. So that’s uh much more important than playing golf. As much as I like it, it’s much more important. I want to just thank Sarah Malone for having uh been with us right from the beginning. uh she was young and not experienced. Now she’s still young and very experienced. So I just want to thank you and my and my son Don for uh for being with us all the way. He’s always been with us and he’s a great guy and he’s got some great golfers in the family. Kai and he’s got one right over there, that little one. She may be one of the most talented in the whole family. She’s something special, right? So, uh, that’s Chloe. She’s, you’ll be reading about her someday walking down the 18th hall of some great course, I think. Right. She’s very talented, actually. So, uh, I just want to thank everybody. This has been an unbelievable development. The land, they said it couldn’t get zoned. It was an impossibility. And Sean Connory said, “Let the bloody bloke build his golf course.” Once he said that, everything came into line. John and I were talking about it last night. Everything came into line. I want to thank by the way the prime minister was here last night and was really very gracious and loves the place, loves the area. So I just want to thank him very much for coming and gave him a little preview and it was really very nice and we just signed a very big deal as you know with the uh European Union but also with the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom was a week before and it’s a very big deal and a great deal for the country and it’s a great deal for everybody. So, I just want to thank him and everybody that works so hard on us. They’ve been trying to get it done for 12 years. We got it done. So, somebody did a good job. So, I just uh guess we’re going to be hitting a couple of balls and we’re going to play the round. And Laura, I want to thank you with the head of the Republican party for during the election, which was the time they counted. And she was fantastic. And Ron and Larry, thank you very much. and everybody. We just had tremendous, tremendous support from everybody, especially the family. These are very hard to build and you won’t see them built anymore. You’ll probably never see another course built in the dunes. Not dunes like this. To the uh groundskeepers who I know so well from number one, the first thing I said, which is better, the old or the new? And they were unable to give me an answer. They actually meant it. But great job you’ve done with your course superintendent who’s been here for a long time. We just want to thank you and to all of our friends. To all of our great friends, thank you very much. So, I’ll be playing quickly and then I’ll be heading back and I look forward to that. But I really look forward to playing. So, thank you everybody and thank you to the media. The media has been terrific, believe it or not. I didn’t use the See, I didn’t use the word fake news one time. Not one time. Today, they’re not fake news. Today, they’re wonderful news. But, uh, I just want to thank you. They’ve treated us really well and they respect what we’ve done really at a level that you rarely see nowadays. So, I really very much appreciate it. And we’re going to go out. We’re going to have a good time. Thank you all of the dignitaries and all of my friends. It’s going to be a special day and it’s going to be a special year and it’s going to be a special decade and we’re going to make all of our countries strong and great and uh really wonderful again. that’s happening and it’s happening very fast and uh we love Scotland. You know, my mother was born here and she loved it. She would come back here religiously once a year during the summers with my sister Maryanne and sometimes my sister Elizabeth, but they would come here religiously and Storway. That’s serious Scotland by the way. There’s no doubt about that. So, the aisle of Lewis, I want to just thank everybody and have a good time today. Play well, enjoy yourselves and many, many years. We’ll see each other many, many years. Thank you very much everybody. And ladies and gentlemen, before we cut the ribbon, we want to present something to a very, very special person, a person who’s truly become a member of our family, and that’s Sarah Malone. She’s dumped 16 years of her life into this incredible property. She’s built every inch alongside of the entire family. And there’s no one more deserving of this than than her. She’s uh truly truly become a friend, family, and a person we love very much. So, I know she’s going to get emotional. I can see the lips, but you deserve every moment of this incredible day. Not only are we doing this ribbon cutting, not only are we doing a presidential visit, we’re also doing the Legends Tour. We’re also doing the DP World Tour back toback. I think Guy will tell you that’s the first time in history that you’ve ever had two tournaments playing in back-to-back weekends on the same course. So, you’re a rock star. We love you. We appreciate you very much. And this is for you, Sarah. [Applause] to do the honors ready. Are we ready? So may God bless everyone, everyone here and everyone everywhere. We have a world that’s got some conflict, but we’ve ironed out a lot of it. We’re going to have a great and peaceful world on a much smaller scale. This will be a tremendously successful place, a place where people can come and enjoy life and it’s very special. So I Everybody in Scotland and well beyond Scotland enjoys it for many, many years to come. Let’s go. One, two, three. Thank you everybody. Mr. All right. [Music] 3. You’re in a new town.
