IN THE ROUGHDonald Trump has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into his struggling Scottish golf clubs. Lawmakers in Edinburgh want to know where that cash came from....the self-proclaimed “king of debt” typically takes out large loans to finance the ventures he does bankroll. In this case, Trump’s company proceeded with the development on its own. And it says it paid for everything in cash.Such was also the case for Turnberry, the historic golf resort, an hour south of Glasgow, that Trump purchased in 2014 for $60 million.....Like other Trump wagers, his Scottish gamble has so far not worked out. Both resorts are bleeding millions annually. ....If business was lackluster before, it’s dismal now that the coronavirus pandemic has all but halted the Scottish golf season, at least as far as international travelers are concerned.Recently, a new—and perhaps bigger—threat to Trump has emerged in Scotland.
