Trump is heading to his golf course in Ireland to watch the Irish Open golf tournament next month
President Donald Trump has announced plans to visit Ireland in September to attend the Irish Open golf tournament at his Doonbeg golf course in County Clare. This marks the latest instance of the president merging official duties with leisure travel that can benefit his family business. Sources indicate Trump will join embassy workers and business officials at the event, followed by the golf tournament.
Trump's family has taken control of the Trump Organization in recent years, yet this trip underscores his habit of using his presidency for personal profit. The trip comes as Trump gears up for the Republican National Convention in Dallas next month, aiming to bolster Republican support ahead of the midterm elections.
