Is there no beginning to the profit-making of this genius?

I can't believe that he is part Scottish.

Not a Trump fan, but there was a pandemic on. People couldn’t travel out of there area

Didn’t he claim a fortune in furlough payments ?

sounds as if his staff have been poached and can't easily be replaced because of Brexit.

Which, it will be recalled, Trump supported

This is a non-story - but it's an opportunity to Trump bash so I suppose that will do.

In the Daily Telegraph, the owners, "said Brexit had also affected its supply chains, meaning there were fewer drivers available" no mention of a shortage of other golf clubs...

If you look at the accounts for almost any entertainment/hospitality business for 2021 you would be very fortunate to see any that did not report a significant downturn and losses. As an illustration:

//The Turnberry accounts, for the financial year ending 31 December 2021, said the property was closed for the first three months of the year.//

I am involved with a very prominent heritage railway and it usually turns in a reasonable (though not huge) profit most years. In both 2020 and 2021 it reported significant losses, and 2022 was barely much better. And it isn't run by Mr Trump.

Nothing to see here.

According to one of the links, his courses posted losses of over 1 million in 2019, well before Covid, and for the 7 years prior to that.

// Donald Trump’s Scottish golf courses were given more than £4million to furlough staff during the pandemic, accounts show.

The former US president’s resorts claimed £1.1million in 2021, on top of the more than £3million claimed a year earlier, according to Companies House filings. //

Should help soften the blow courtesy of UK taxpayers.

Was the furlough scheme only open to companies whose owners were British?
