Trump Turnberry: British Open - R&A Have No Plans To Return to Turnberry If He Owns It

.


The R&A, which governs golf in much of the world outside the United States and operates the British Open, has had no plans to take its men’s major championship back to the Ailsa Course at Trump Turnberry in Scotland. That is unlikely to change so long as President Donald Trump owns the seaside property.

The R&A on Monday released a statement from Chief Executive Officer Martin Slumbers declaring such after the PGA of America on Sunday night announced plans to remove the 2022 PGA Championship from Trump Bedminster in New Jersey. The PGA’s announcement came in the wake of a pro-Trump mob storming the U.S. Capitol last week, leaving five dead, including a Capitol police officer.

His federal pension isn't going to be worth much, and I hope we take that away as well.

They've been clear on this for 5 years.
The found him boorish & assumed an event there would be made about him.
After the last 4 years, especially the last 9 weeks, they are making sure everybody remembered.

Sure his name is on a bunch of properties but I bet most of them are mortgaged to the hilt to Russian and Saudi mobsters.
