President Trump reportedly complained to world leaders about roadblocks he has faced setting up golf courses in the European Union.

Belgian daily newspaper Le Soir reported Trump told Belgian Prime Minister he has mixed feelings about the European Union (EU) due to issues he has faced in the past setting up golf courses within its borders.

Trump brought up his difficulties doing business in Ireland, which has influenced his view of how the EU functions.

“Every time we talk about a country, he remembered the things he had done. Scotland? He said he had opened a club. Ireland? He said it took him two and a half years to get a license and that did not give him a very good image of the European Union.,” a source told Le Soir.

“One feels that he wants a system where everything can be realized very quickly and without formalities.”

    Trump wants everyone to do his bidding. He can’t accept that not everyone in the world worships him to the point that they will cut corners and speed things up just for him. Other countries have their own ways and their own timetables for doing things. He should respect all that and stop being the epitome of the ugly American.

    Trump always finds a way to make everything about him. Yep, that is Europe’s main concern is how to make it easy for Trump to open a golf course. Trump, the very definition of the word “shallow”.
