Looks like Donald Tr𝐮mp didn’t just cut the ribbon, he played some golf too.
At the official opening of his new MacLeod Course in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, the U.S. President stepped up to the first tee and delivered what onlookers are calling a flawless drive, right down the middle. The swing, captured and shared by NUCLR Golf on X, showed Tr𝐮mp taking a couple of warm-up swings before smashing the ball dead straight. Like it or not, the man can still drive it.
Standing alongside Tr𝐮mp were golf pros Paul McGinley, Rich Beem, and his son Eric Tr𝐮mp. The round doubled as a soft launch for the MacLeod Course, which Tr𝐮mp named after his Scottish-born mother, Mary Anne MacLeod. The venue sits just north of Aberdeen, hugging the North Sea, and boasts the world’s largest natural bunker.
According to developers, the course spans 7,589 yards and was built to challenge even the most seasoned pros.
Fans Had Plenty To Say About Tr𝐮mp

While Tr𝐮mp’s tee shot was clean, the online chatter wasn’t.
Fans wasted no time flooding social media with reactions, most of them not focused on the swing. “Looks like svelte 215 lbs of muscle mass split his pants too!!” one person joked.
Another said, “Never trust a man who cheats at golf.”
One fan wrote bluntly, “HE’S NOT WELCOME,” voicing concern over Tr𝐮mp buying up Scottish golf real estate.
A few others rolled their eyes entirely: “Who cares?”
But the bigger picture is hard to ignore. Tr𝐮mp’s golf empire in Scotland keeps expanding quietly, but steadily. His latest addition, the MacLeod Course, is already getting plugged into the European Tour Group’s circuit. The DP World Tour’s Nexo Championship will be held there, with the Legends Tour also stopping by. All this with hardly a peep of protest.
Even the Scottish government backed the Nexo event with £180,000 in public funds. That fact alone has stirred criticism among Tr𝐮mp’s detractors, who argue he’s building influence while everyone’s busy looking the other way.
Tr𝐮mp’s influence could grow even more if reports about Doonbeg, his Irish resort, hosting the Irish Open by 2026 prove true.
