President Trump on Tuesday opened his new golf course<\/a> in Aberdeen, playing a round of golf before returning back to Washington, D.C. after his swing in Scotland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll play it very quickly and then I go back to D.C. and we put out fires all over the world,\u201d Trump said at the opening ceremony.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did one yesterday, as you know, we stopped the war,\u201d he continued, referring to Thailand and Cambodia agreeing to a ceasefire<\/a> to end five days of fighting. \u201cThat\u2019s much more important than playing golf. As much as I like it, it\u2019s much more important,\u201d<\/p>\n

The president, surrounded by his sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., cut a long red ribbon to mark the official opening. The president\u2019s signature song<\/a>, \u201cYMCA,\u201d played at the course and then the family exited the tee area before he hit a drive.<\/p>\n

After he hit a drive<\/a>, Eric Trump did the same, followed by Irish professional golfer Paul McGinley and American professional golfer Rich Beem. The president watched and then walked along to continue his round of golf.<\/p>\n

Before exiting to go play, Trump responded to a shouted question on what he would say to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid the war in Gaza<\/a>. He responded that he’s \u201ctrying to get things straightened out\u201d<\/p>\n

The president called the Aberdeen course \u201can unbelievable development” during his remarks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess we\u2019re going to be hitting a couple of balls. And we\u2019re going to play the round,\u201d he added. \u201cI\u2019ll be playing quickly and then I\u2019ll be heading back. I look forward to that but I really look forward to playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump also thanked the media for being \u201cterrific\u201d during the trip and said they\u2019re \u201cwonderful news\u201d and not \u201cfake news\u201d as of Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s sons spoke before the president and Eric Trump said the course started as a \u201cpassion project for my father.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new 18-hole course is outside of Aberdeen and will be named after his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who was born in Scotland. Trump owns two other golf courses in Scotland \u2014 a separate one in Aberdeen that opened in 2012 and one at Turnberry that opened in 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
