(LOL) Trump Describes Himself as 'Wonderful Person' While Complaining About Open Championship Site

By Christina Zhao On 7/17/21

Former President Donald Trump referred to himself as a "wonderful person" on Saturday, as he denounced The Open Championship for refusing to return to his golf course in Scotland.

Six days after the Capitol riot, the R&A, organizers of the world's oldest golf tournament, announced that it had no plans in "the foreseeable future" to return to Trump Turnberry, purchased by the former president in 2014.

Trump criticized the decision in a statement released Saturday, three days after the 2021 Open Championship began at Royal St. George's Golf Club. "As almost all of the great players, sportscasters, and golf aficionados know, the greatest site and course of all for The Open is Turnberry, in Scotland," he said.

Organizations that distanced from Trump cited violations of their standards against the promotion of violence and concerns about associating their brands with the controversial president.

Here's TFG's email:

"As almost all of the great players, sportscasters, and golf aficionados know, the greatest site and course of all for The Open is Turnberry, in Scotland, It is truly a magical place, the players want to be there, and at some point in time the players will be there. But this course was not chosen for The Open because they consider a wonderful person, and many-time Club Champion, named Donald J. Trump, to be too controversial—this is, of course, a false reputation caused mainly by the Fake News Media. It is a shame that the phenomenal Turnberry Golf links, the best in the World, sits empty during Open Championships, while far lesser courses are on display. Oh well, life proceeds forward! Someday The Open will be back at Turnberry"

The fact that Mussolini Mini-Me complimented himself in the third person is just so...typical and so very tiresome.

The Open alternates between England and Scotland and this year was England's turn, MF45 should know that. Now next year when the Open isn't played at Turnberry, MF45 can boeach, bwahaha.

Next year will be the 150th Open Championship. At St. Andrews.

Pretty sure St. Andrews is the best course in the British Open Rota. Pretty sure no one cares whether the Open is ever played at Turnberry ever again.
