A one-minute video shot at the grand opening of the new Trump International Golf Club in Dubai and shared by the Trump Organisation has amassed thousands of likes and several comments on social media.

Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump, the sons of US president Donald Trump inaugurated the new Trump International Golf Club at the Damac Hills project on Saturday (February 18). The project was announced in 2013.

The video shows dignitaries from around the world arriving the red carpet ceremony, and Damac Group’s chairman, Hussain Sajwani thanking the president for the friendship and partnership with the Trump Organisation. His sons also thanked the UAE for its continued support.

The event ended with a fireworks display and a classical music performance.

Democrats are probably claiming opening a Golf Course is a impeachable offense

Democrats will find a way to claim it only has 17 holes.

Will be interesting to see if the LPGA will schedule a tournament there or insist on playing with the men. Maybe we should set up a Go Fund Me account for those women who insisted on playing at Augusta and destroying men only courses can play at this course.

Don't forget--PGA tournament next week is the former Cadillac World Golf Championship, formerly held at Doral in Miami from 1962-2016. The PGA, in its infinite wisdom, shunned Cadillac, Miami and Trump by moving the event to Mexico. The new sponsor--Grupo Salinas--signed a seven year contract with the PGA.

I will not be tuning in to golf next weekend.
