The results add further pressure to two of President Trumps key overseas investments at a time when the company faces backlashes on many fronts, including customers who shun the presidents family business for political reasons and golf course neighbors upset by the companys plans to build hundreds of new homes on bucolic farmland.
The losses at the two Scotland courses the Turnberry resort along the southwestern coast and another seaside course near Aberdeen in the northeast were detailed in documents filed by the Trump Organization with the British government and posted online in recent days.

Is it time for a little of the old quid pro quo with the military? Could he get the Ukraine to check into it, as favor? Maybe some official endorsements for a hot vacation spot?
Trump and the Losses. Sounds like a band name to me. Death Meddle.

(3,290 posts)6. Is that figure how much he actually lost or how much he claimed he lost?
That is one of the many things in question about cheating on his taxes, inflating his losses. At this point I believe nothing he or members of his cabal tell me.

He pays himself first and expenses it. So what the P/L doesn't show a profit. I would bet that his losses didn't cost him a penny.
