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.

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

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.
