Wearing an
open-necked shirt, a suit and a white baseball cap with his
slogan "Make America great again", Trump was asked if he was
worried about the volatility in financial markets following
Britain's vote to leave the EU on Thursday.
"There's always turmoil no matter where you go, no matter what
you do," he said.
Global stock markets lost about $2 trillion in value on Friday
after the vote, while sterling fell to a 31-year low.
Trump, whose mother was Scottish, was greeted by around a dozen
protesters at the course waving Mexican flags, rainbow flags for
Gay Pride day and signs that read "Donald stop the hating" and
"Shame on you for ruining a beautiful landscape."
Trump last year proposed a temporary ban on Muslims entering the
United States as a response to Islamist attacks in Paris and
California, causing a furor in Europe.
In an article in a Scottish newspaper earlier this year, Trump
pointed to his determination to overcome local opposition to his
golf course projects as an example of the leadership skills that
Americans would get if he were to become president.
He also met with News Corporation media mogul Rupert Murdoch and
his wife Jerry Hall, giving them a tour of the course in a golf
cart.
