Donald Trump's new golf course in Scotland: the internet responds

New York property magnate Donald Trump opened his controversial new golf course north of Aberdeen, Scotland, on Monday. Environmentalists have opposed the development, built across a stretch of stunning land overlooking the North Sea near Balmedie in Aberdeeenshire, because of its proximity to protected sand dunes. But Trump dismissed the concerns when he teed off with a rather unimpressive shot. The opening came three years later than planned, delayed by a public inquiry and official wrangling. Plans for a clubhouse, hotel and villas are on hold. Trump says they rest on whether the Scottish government approves an offshore windfarm (which he opposes) and – more plausibly – change in the economic climate. Storify by Adam Gabbatt
