Trump 'Hoodwinked' Scotland And Me, Ex-Golf Course Mgr. Says

We could have told Neil Hobday, the one-time project director of Trump's Aberdeenshire, Scotland golf course, not to believe Donald Trump"s promises, especially when it comes to money. Now it looks like Hobday, the town of Aberdeenshire and maybe the country has learned the hard way.

From The Hill:

In 2006, Trump purchased land near Aberdeen. He had planned for the 18-hole course to have a five-star hotel, villas and more, and was supported by the local economy looking for tourism and jobs.

In 2018, Trump’s golf course reportedly “destroyed the vast majority” of protected sand dunes in the area, despite a pledge not to. After opening in 2012, the golf course didn’t live up to its promises, losing millions.

BBC News reported that the Trump Organization said it spent around 100 million pounds on the Aberdeenshire golf resort, but new accounts show the facility has a value of 33.2 million pounds. It’s racked up 13.3 million pounds in losses since opening.

You don't say! But wait, there's more.
