The grand unveiling of Donald Trump’s new Scottish golf course encountered a momentary disturbance from a wasp. Over the past four days, the US President has been under significant protection by British authorities during his visit. A large contingent of police officers, including some imported from other parts of the UK, was deployed at considerable expense to ensure Trump’s privacy while playing golf.
The Scottish police enforced exclusion zones around both of his golf courses, restricting access to vehicles, pedestrians, and even banning planes and drones from flying overhead. Despite these measures, a Scottish wasp managed to disrupt Trump’s preparations on the driving range at Trump International Links Aberdeen.
Initially, observers mistook Trump’s reaction to the insect for a dance, but it soon became evident that the source of his disturbance was the pesky wasp. This incident marked a rare glimpse of Trump for most media personnel, as access to the President had been limited during his visit.
During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Eric Trump humorously described the new course as exceeding its unlimited budget, dubbing it his father’s “Mona Lisa.” Trump, once rid of the buzzing intruder, expressed gratitude and made positive remarks about various figures before commencing his round of golf.
As Trump inaugurated the course, mysterious loud noises outside the media tent led to speculations of fireworks, highlighting the secrecy surrounding the event. Despite the controlled environment, there was a fleeting moment where the outcome seemed uncertain.
