Donald Trump's Aberdeenshire resort runs up losses for eighth consecutive year



Donald Trump’s inaugural Scottish golf resort has run up losses of more than £1.1 million, marking t
he eighth consecutive year the outgoing US president’s property has failed to turn a profit.

Newly published accounts lodged with Companies House show that Trump International Scotland in Aberdeenshire remains in the red, some 15 years after its incorporation.

The accounting period covers the 12 months to December 31, 2019 and does not reflect disruption to the business as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic.

In December, NatureScot, Scotland’s nature agency, announced the coastal dunes on which Mr Trump’s resort was partly built had lost their special protected status.

Scotland should seize the land back and restore the dunes. Trump promised thousands of job @ his golf course and
it has produced about 100 full time jobs 1/2 of which are as caddies.

New Year's Party @ Mierda Logo...Trump was a no show and the talent was Taylor Dayne and Vanilla Ice

The President of the United States was expected to host the event, but he decided to go back to Washington, D.C. just hours before the party was set to begin.

Many members of the Trump family and the president’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani did attend the party, which also featured Dayne and rapper Vanilla Ice.

“2020 kicking me in the balls again one last time with @taylordayne being a dirty sell out. Never could I have imagined,” Broadway actor Marty Thomas tweeted. Author Josh Sabarra replied with the crying face emoji, “And I had always been such a #TaylorDayne fan… ”


With many typos, Taylor tweeted, “I’m saddened by all this. I have a 30 yr careers s that many diverse friendships .and I try to stay non political and non judgmental and not preach . I sing from my heart purely and from Source. I wish for all to be who they need to be .. and find their way.”

Herbstreit has covid 19

He got the job anyway. And now here he is, 25 seasons later, arguably the most influential personality in college football, preparing to take the national stage again on New Year’s Day in another big moment for his family.

Ohio State, where Herbstreit played quarterback, is again playing Clemson, where his twin sons are members of the team, this time in the Sugar Bowl national semifinal in New Orleans. Herbstreit, now 51, is calling the game as an analyst for ESPN but plans to do so from home in Nashville after recently testing positive for COVID-19.
