Trump Finally Gets His Wall ... At An Irish Golf Course
He gets two of them, as environmentalists warn the barriers could damage protected wildlife areas.

The Trump International Golf Links and Hotel Doonbeg, one of several golf courses owned by President Donald Trump’s business empire, was given the go ahead to construct two sea walls along the border of the property to protect the land from coastal erosion. The 2,000-foot and 850-foot barriers are dramatically scaled down from original plans to build a 1.7-mile structure, which was rejected by local county officials a year ago.

Eamon Ryan, leader of Ireland’s Green Party, expressed disappointment Thursday over the approval of the walls. He said they “will interfere with the natural circulation of the dune system. Local jobs would be better protected by adjusting the course to the evolving natural world.”

The Trump Organization has spent $330 million to acquire and develop golf course since it started such projects in 1997, according to Reuters. Trump has often sparked controversy in defense of his courses, including an instance where he sent a letter to a Scottish minister calling proposed wind farms near one of them “monsters.”

As part of the application, golf course officials argued that the effects of global warming, including a rise in sea levels, would increase coastal erosion rates.

One of Trumps arguments for these wall is the effects of global warming!!

...so I guess that means nobody will ever see it. Trump can't put his name or logo on it anywhere.
Just sayin'
