'Flattered' Trump Seemingly Bribed With a Golf Course by Senegal President: 'You Are a Tremendous Golf Player'
Senegal's President Bassirou Diomaye Faye charmed President Donald Trump with flattery on Wednesday, complimenting his golf skills as he floated the idea of a new Trump golf course.
"I know you are a tremendous golf player," Faye told Trump during trade talks at the White House that also included leaders from Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, and Mauritania. "Golf requires concentration and precision, qualities that also make for a great leader."
The opening primed Trump for Faye's suggestion to boost Senegal's tourism sector by building a golf course there. Faye noted the country is just a six hour plane ride away from New York, Miami, or Europe.
"So, perhaps an investment could be made in a golf course in Senegal," Faye added. "That would be an opportunity for you to show off your skills on the golf course, too."
Trump, visibly pleased, called the idea "nice," adding: "It's a long trip to show off my skill, but that's really nice."
