Trump loves the game of golf and takes pride in his relationships with some of the pros
Trump’s visit drew road closures, hundreds of police officers and protests over his support for the Gaza war and immigration policies.
- President Donald Trump attended the Irish Open at the Trump International Golf Links in Doonbeg, Ireland, over the weekend. The visit to County Clare brought road closures, hundreds of police officers, and scores of protesters to the remote rural village.
- Since purchasing the struggling resort in 2014, the Trump-owned property has become an economic lifeline for the region. Environmentalists and opponents have repeatedly staged protests to block expansion plans, citing protected snails under European Union rules.
- Dozens of protesters stood on Doonbeg's main street on Sunday with Palestinian flags, criticizing Trump's Gaza policies. Local business owner Martin Kelly said the resort creates a "massive amount of employment" and is vital for west Clare.
- Trump maintains close ties with professional golfers, including Rory McIlroy, whom he applauded at the tournament on Saturday. Earlier this year, Trump named McIlroy, Tiger Woods, Bryson DeChambeau, and Scottie Scheffler as friends.
- Clare County Council approved a 320-capacity ballroom in February, though the project faces ongoing legal challenges from objectors. Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin called the course a "valuable asset to the area," reflecting economic ties between the United States and Ireland.
