Trump Has Now Lost More Than $100 Million At His European Golf Resorts​

The pandemic has been great for the golf industry, but it hasn’t been able to turn around Donald Trump’s fledgling properties in Europe. In 2020, Trump lost $13 million at his three sites overseas, bringing his total losses there to more than $100 million, according to an analysis of British and Irish financial filings.

The trouble with Trump’s European golf business is that it’s all tied up in extravagant resorts—rather than simple clubs. Even though Covid-19 made it easy for golfers to sneak in a socially distanced round at the local course, it didn’t necessarily make people more likely to travel to big golf attractions. As a result, Trump’s resort-heavy portfolio has continued to struggle.

Trump’s most famous golf resort is Turnberry, the Scottish icon that has hosted four British Opens—all before he purchased the property for $65 million in 2014. Despite spending an additional $80 million or so to spruce up the place, Turnberry has continued to lose money year after year. In 2020, the property closed from late March to mid-July, then again from late November through the end of the year, causing sales to plunge 66% to about $9.2 million. Despite the closures, expenses remained relatively high, leading to roughly $4.7 million of operating losses. Things would have been even worse if the Trump Organization hadn’t gotten a $3.2 million Covid-related grant through the British government. Dating back to 2014, Turnberry has now lost a total of $68 million.

Business has been similarly bad at the Trump International Golf Links & Hotel in Doonbeg, Ireland. Trump spent about $20 million on that property in 2014, according to Irish records, then invested at least another $13 million into it. Nonetheless, he lost $14 million there from 2014 to 2019. The worst year was 2020, when he bled $4.4 million—despite receiving government grants of $600,000. Total losses since Trump purchased the place now add up to $18 million.

Trump’s smallest golf resort sits in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The real estate tycoon, whose mother emigrated from Scotland to the United States, opened a course there in 2012. But the business has never amounted to much. Covid restrictions forced the resort to close for part of 2020, causing revenues to plunge. Losses hit $1.8 million—even though a British government program provided $600,000 of grant money. Plans to build a residential village near the golf course also stalled. From 2012 to 2020, the Aberdeenshire property lost a combined $17 million.

The former president has one other golf resort, Trump National Doral in Miami. The United States does not require businesses to disclose as much financial information as the United Kingdom does, so it’s harder to get a sense of how Doral has performed. The records that are available suggest additional struggles: Doral eked out a profit of $4.3 million on $75 million of revenue in 2017, but revenue fell to less than $45 million in 2020.

The only Trump-owned golf properties that fared okay were his smaller clubs. Sales at those 10 sites, which are all based in the United States, dropped an estimated 9% in 2020. That’s not great. But next to Trump’s four resorts, where sales plunged more than 50%, a 9% decline looks decent.

Looks like former high dollar Trump donor Giving time an money to Biden.

"
At least half a dozen high-dollar Nikki Haley donors, including former Chair of MGM Harry Sloan, are now operating as fundraisers for President Biden's re-election campaign. According to reporting from NBC, Sloan was recruited to come to the Biden campaign after Haley dropped out by movie producer Jeffrey Katzenberg, Co-Chair of the Biden-Harris campaign.

Sloan told CNBC that he agreed to join the Biden campaign and was actively recruiting Republican business owners to fundraise for Biden in order to prevent a return of Donald Trump to the White House."

I heard that one of those former Haley donors said that Pres. Biden was "Better for business all-around."

anyone else feel bad for this Barron Trump kid? Imagine having such a presumptuous and snooty name, being so gangly and soft looking.. and at what about 10 when your dad, decides to run for president, becomes one of the most polarizing men in American history, becomes impeached, indicted, has his old rape case brought into the spotlight, have it known your dad be sleeping with hookers and cheating on your mom and have that brought into the spotlight, have your dad start a riot that leads to deaths at the capitol, have your dad's financial empire potentially crumbling to dust, have your dad indicted and facing potential jail time,,and have the entire media and social world fighting about and reporting over your families every step,,all while your working your way through your most awkward tweens.

On the plus side he gets to go to pampered private schools and he has access to at least some of the remaining treasure hoard and connections that mean he'll never have to work a day in his life.

But I mean I was ducking down in the car so my classmates wouldn't see me with my family when they drove our old beater to school. Yet they were decent hard working people with no media exposure.

I honestly feel bad for the kid and what he has endured and will endure the rest of life as people fight over the legacy of DJT.

I also feel bad I ducked down instead of being proud of my parents even if our car was a rust bucket piece of crap and we had absolutely no style.

Looks like they found some more election fraud.
A jury found a former Milwaukee election official accused of obtaining fake absentee ballots guilty Wednesday of misconduct in office and fraud, rejecting her arguments that she was trying to expose vulnerabilities in the state’s election system.
Prosecutors charged Kimberly Zapata in November 2022 with one felony count of misconduct in public office and three misdemeanor counts of election fraud. The jury found her guilty in Milwaukee County Circuit Court on all four counts after starting deliberations Wednesday morning.

Zapata faces up to five years behind bars when she’s sentenced on May 2.

Zapata was serving as deputy director at the Milwaukee Election Commission in October 2022 when she used her work-issued laptop to obtain three military absentee ballots using fake names and Social Security numbers, according to a criminal complaint. She sent the ballots to Republican state Rep. Janel Brandtjen, an election conspiracy theorist, two weeks before the state’s gubernatorial and legislative elections.

Imagine if another Foreign enemy "loans" him the $500 million he needs for this other lawsuit and he somehow wins the election. Makes you wonder how he is going to pay back that "loan" ?
