President Trump attended the Presidents Cup golf tournament in Chicago on Sunday and made another incredible entrance, flying over the course on Air Force One and speaking to a fired-up crowd of supporters from the golf world.
Trump is serving as the honorary chairman of the tournament at Medinah Country Club for the second time.
While arriving in Chicago, Air Force One was seen screaming over the golf course as spectators gathered and filmed.
Trump spoke briefly to reporters at Chicago O’Hare upon landing on Air Force One. “You’ll be seeing the best players, the best golfers anywhere in the world. It’s going to be great. I think for those of you that don’t play, you’ll get it,” he said. “It’s tremendous power, touch, everything else. But these are the greatest players in the world.”
The President also commented on reports that five were arrested on Sunday in a potentially Iran-linked terror plot at the UK’s Royal Air Force Fairford base, where US bombers and troops are currently stationed.
During the Presidents Cup, Trump delivered brief remarks before golfers teed off. Fans could be heard cheering and chanting “USA” for the President as he was introduced by PGA Tour Commissioner Brian Rolapp.
“You know the fake news media will say I got a very bad reception, but we got a good reception,” Trump said before joking that he doesn’t “have the courage” to make a speech. “These people want to see golf; they don’t want to hear speeches,” he joked.
