Trump Unveils New Scottish Golf Course Amid UK Visit — But Viral ‘Cheating’ Clip Sparks Buzz

During his recent UK visit, Donald Trump unveiled the newest jewel in his golf empire: an 18-hole course at Trump International Scotland in Aberdeenshire. Despite the private nature of the trip, the former U.S. president met with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen—while still carving out time for several rounds on the green.

Golf, a longtime passion of Trump’s, didn’t appear to interest First Lady Melania Trump, who quipped, “No, I don’t play golf,” when asked about joining him. While she once dabbled in the sport, she’s left the putting to her husband.

However, a viral video from Trump’s Scottish course drew fresh allegations of golf “cheating.” The clip, which has garnered over 4 million views, shows a caddie discreetly dropping a ball before Trump walks up as if it were his own shot. Critics were quick to pounce, reigniting debates about Trump’s on-course ethics.

Meanwhile, Trump praised the British royal family—while subtly throwing shade. “You could have people that weren’t great people,” he teased, prompting an awkward interjection from PM Starmer: “We’re very lucky.”
