Trump Opens New Golf Course in Scotland on Taxpayer-Funded Trip

President Donald Trump opened a new private golf course in Scotland this week, with taxpayers covering most of the trip's cost. The Trump International Golf Links Aberdeen will open to the public on August 13. Trump, accompanied by his sons Eric and Don Jr., used golden scissors to cut the ribbon and hit the inaugural tee. The inauguration took place during Trump's state visit to Scotland, where he met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

The trip cost taxpayers around $10 million, with expenses including travel, security, logistics, and lodging. The visit is seen as another instance of Trump using public funds to benefit his private business ventures. The White House shared videos of the event on social media, promoting Trump's golf resort. This move reflects the corruption and lawlessness surrounding Trump's presidency.

During his first term, Trump would sometimes lie about his self-interest. In a notable incident, Vice President Mike Pence booked a room at Trump's golf resort in Ireland, following pressure from Trump. Trump justified the booking by claiming people liked his product. This behavior signifies a shift towards more open corruption in Trump's second term.
