“Trump claimed the resorts — Trump International Golf Links Aberdeen and Trump Turnberry, both in Scotland, and Trump Doonbeg in Ireland — brought in a total of about $179 million in revenue on U.S. documents where he is supposed to list his personal income,” wrote Politico’s Anita Kumar. “Records in the United Kingdom and Ireland indicate the resorts‘ revenues were millions of dollars less — about $152 million — and show they actually lost $77 million after accounting for expenses.”

In 2018, Trump said that the Scottish resorts were worth at least $100 million when he disclosed it in the documents, but the U,K. disputed it because Trump had more $80 million in debts that same year.

5. I hope this story has legs and doesn't get overshadowed by COVID and elections nt

6. Everyone knows Trump doesn't pay his bills.

So you can forget all about those "expenses" on the balance sheet. I smell yet another bankruptcy in the wind. I'm sure he's cleverly hidden all the money he's stolen from the taxpayers. It would take three teams of Federal Examiners to find out where that money is. Freakin' crook!

8. Sounds like money laundering to me.

Why would one claim to have made 25 million more than he actually did? Because he has money he can't account for.

9. Someday there will be a double episode of "American Greed:

Scams and Scoundrels". It will barely scratch the surface.
