Maybe because their property is not projected to be swallowed up by the ocean in their lifetime

Yes it is.
According to them it is.

You have a link of them saying that sea level is going to rise enough to swallow up their houses in their lifetime?
If they really believed that, they would never have bought a house on the water.

Why does Trump want to build a seawall at his golf course in Ireland if he doesn't believe that sea level is rising?

This is the first I've heard of it, but I DO know that there are millions of sea walls that were NOT built because of impending and ongoing sea level rise.
Millions.

And his is not one of them.

The New York billionaire is applying for permission to erect a coastal protection works to prevent erosion at his seaside golf resort, Trump International Golf Links & Hotel Ireland, in County Clare.

A permit application for the wall, filed by Trump International Golf Links Ireland and reviewed by POLITICO, explicitly cites global warming and its consequences — increased erosion due to rising sea levels and extreme weather this century — as a chief justification for building the structure.

No. That Trump is a **** artist who pretends not believe in sea level rise, while he applies for a permit to build a seawall at his golf resort citing that very reason, and that both Obama and Gore know that the sea is not going to swallow up their homes any time soon.
