Trump’s Scottish Golf Resorts Took $800,000 In Taxpayer Funds To Save Jobs, But Cut Workers
Union officials called the money grab a “scandal” and are calling for a government investigation.
When Trump wooed both Ireland and Scotland to allow him to develop golf resorts in both countries, he promised the operations would deliver major tax revenue. In fact, it appears the Trump Organization hasn’t paid a penny in taxes at any of the resorts because of constantly reported losses.
In 2017, Turnberry was granted a $147,000 tax break. The resort was later cut out of the program that was intended to give struggling companies a break, the Sunday Herald reported.
