DONALD TRUMP has had a major financial investment come to fruition just weeks before the presidential election.
The country is less than four weeks away from going to the polls to decide the 47th President of the United States.
And the 78-year-old has been boosted by the news that his plans to open a second golf course in Scotland will come to fruition next year.
Proposals to open the MacLeod Course at the Trump International resort in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire were put forward in 2019.
Locals protested Trump’s plans to build a new 18-hole course, which he claimed would have the “largest sand dunes in Scotland” and create “the greatest 36 holes in golf“.
But the $196million plans – which included proposals for a whopping 550 new homes, offices, shops and restaurants in northern Aberdeen– were approved.
Defending their decision to approve the proposal, Aberdeenshire Council claimed Trump’s further investment would “result in development that will provide economic and social benefit to the local area and region”.
MacLeod Course – which is named after Trump’s mother Mary – is set to open nextsummer.
It will be situated next to the links built back in 2012 and has already been hailed as “one of the great wonders in the world of golf“.
Trump International Scotland’s vice-president Sarah Malone said: “Since breaking ground with President Trump and Eric Trump [his son] last spring, we have made extraordinary progress.
‘This course is unlike any other links course ever built and is exceeding every expectation.
“A truly remarkable, world-class team of architects, engineers, environmental scientists and industry specialists have been working tirelessly in the background.
“Etching out every square inch of this phenomenal piece of land to create one of the great wonders in the world of golf.”
Trump also owns courses at Turnberry, Ayrshire, and Doonbeg, Co Clare, Ireland.
