This is something to ponder if Trump's kids have given thought to. The Trump reputation is becoming toxic and this may have long term effects for Trump businesses. When the Trump sons opened a hotel in Vancouver BC a few months ago, they called themselves "progressive" and hoped to open hotels in Seattle and the Bay Area. They were openly mocked and ridiculed. They want the money from liberals but liberals absolutely cannot stand them.
“The carpark is rarely even half full,” said Milne, 53, looking out again on Friday under clear blue skies. “For what was supposedly the best golf course in the world, I don’t really think this is a resounding success.”
A few hours after Milne spoke, he got some confirmation. A financial report that Trump’s company filed with the British government shows he has lost millions of dollars at the resort, called the Trump International Golf Links, as well as at a second one on the other side of Scotland overlooking the Irish Sea.
Trump is making money off of taxpayers by charging the Secret Service to access his properties ($65K to use his elevators in one month) but he'll hand his children the legacy of the Trump name.
You don't know golfers very well. They will play at a nice course no matter whose name is on the sign out front.
We have to cut Donald some slack...........he hasn't had a bankruptcy it what, 2 or 3 years now ! Any "smart" businessman goes belly up every so often, just to keep in practice.
Wonder how many Scots have been stiffed out of their paychecks ?
From what I can tell, Trump's business model involves laundering Russian money through overpriced real estate surrounding money-losing golf courses.
If the golf courses go belly up and folks can't sell their overpriced condos, wonder if the Russians will fool around with lawsuits or take more direct action.

Same money laundering scheme obama used with solyndra and other scams. except obama used taxpayers money and trump didsn't.
Trump was the best option offered. He won. Deal with it.
The problem is that apparently Trump does not know how to "deal" with the fact the he won the election. He still hasn't figured out how to be the President of the United States. And he is showing no glimmer of hope that he is proceeding along the learning curve.
..another 1,000 courses set to close over the next decade
Well, that's interesting.
