Middle East sound and we want to thank them. what talent. You have young ones and you have a 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 him last night. I also want to thank uh your first minister who’s here. John, would you stand up? John Swinny, who’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 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 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. Now, they love us and we love them. They 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 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 been with us right from the beginning. 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. uh 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 uh 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. And 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. Industry. Hosting professional golf tournaments brings global exposure as well as proven economic and social benefits for host venues and for regions. As golf’s global tour, we’ve been playing in every corner of the world for more than half a century, visiting more countries than any other tour. Through our partnership with the PGA Tour and with other international tours, we also showcase global talent from over 40 countries, but it’s always special to come back to Scotland, which has such a rich golfing history. With the president’s Scottish roots, this course clearly has profound significance and meaning for him and the entire Trump family. I’d therefore like to thank President Trump for creating this magnificent new course and indeed for his long-term commitment to
