More bad news for Donald J. Trump.
The Trump International Golf Club Scotland, which he once declared “the world’s best golf course”, appears to be in a financial death spiral after newly released documents show it lost nearly £700,000 ($860,000 U.S.) in 2021. That’s after it lost over £1.3 million ($1.5 million U.S.) in 2020.
SLC Turnberry Ltd., the group that manages the money-losing property, said the deficit is largely due to the resort closing down for part of the year because of the pandemic. But that doesn’t explain why it’s never once turned a profit in the 10 years it’s been open.

Oh god, the Ivana Trump gravesite story just took an even more sick and twisted turn
Ivana Trump, ex-wife of ex-president Donald Trump and mother of Don Jr., Ivanka, and Eric, was laid to rest late last month near the first hole of Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Also worth noting is that the £700,000 loss comes after Trump received over £1 million in COVID payroll support from the UK government.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Considering everything else that’s going on in the one-term, twice-impeached ex-president’s personal life (countless investigations, lawsuits, counter lawsuits, weakened political prowess after last fall’s disappointing midterms, a wife who detests him, etc.), we can’t image his failing golf course in Scotland is a huge priority right now, but it’s embarrassing nonetheless. Especially for someone who purports to be a successful billionaire businessman.
In other Trump news, it appears he’ll soon be getting his first Republican challenger in the 2024 presidential primary.
Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley is expected to declare her intention run for president in the coming days, despite saying in 2021 that she wouldn’t run in 2024 if Trump did. Her announcement is expected to happen in Charleston, South Carolina on February 15.
Of course, Trump isn’t taking the news well. Yesterday, he went on Truth Social to taunt her.
“Nikki has to follow her heart, not her honor. She should definitely run!” he wrote, along with a clip of Haley saying she’d support him if he ran in 2024 and would not enter the race if he did so.

Everyone’s laughing at Nikki Haley over her Twitter meltdown about delayed popcorn delivery
Nikki Haley would like to speak to a manager.
Last June, Haley gave a speech at a campaign event for candidate Jeremy Hunt in Georgia during which she praised Ron DeSantis’ “Don’t Say Gay” bill and said it didn’t go “far enough” to protect children.
“They’re talking about this bill in Florida, the Don’t Say Gay bill, where gay wasn’t even mentioned, but you know what it did say? It said you cannot talk about any sort of sexual preference or gender pronouns before 3rd grade,” she said. “I didn’t think that went far enough.”
“We didn’t have sex-ed until 7th grade. And even then, you had to have your parent sign a permission slip. And my dad didn’t sign it.”

What is a “turnberry”? I keep thinking of blueberries when they start to get fungus on them and go rotten. Symbolizes the entire Trump empire!
Haley: “We didn’t have sex-ed until 7th grade. And even then, you had to have your parent sign a permission slip. And my dad didn’t sign it.” And she STILL doesn’t know about “menestration” I bet.

If it wasn’t for sex education being taught in school, a majority of kids would never be properly taught as virtually no parent has that discussion with their kids either out of embarrassment or ignorance themselves. The younger it starts, the smarter they’ll be with their own bodies.

Golf courses are terrible investments. They are great for laundering money. Trump’s main business is laundering money.

I wonder which ex wife he’s going to bury under there?

I had a thought. Does trump inc. bleed properties for all it can and put it in their personal coffers.. the Place fails leaving other investors and banks to eat the loss while they walk away rich?????

Another successful Trump business. This loser deserves every bad thing that happens to him. Same thing for his trashy family.

Nikki, I have news for you — kids STILL won’t get sex ed before 7th grade. To lump the kind of relationship education kids get before third grade isn’t any more about sex than the Cinderella story.

she is another prudish sex obsessed freak from the right. The right is uncomfortable at the very mention of sex even tho it is a part of everyones life. TO them it should all be done in the dark behind locked doors in one position and only the man having any enjoyment. Puritans who never left the 18th century. Sex is beautiful and a biological urge that we all get and not accepting that simple fact is kinda insane
