Donald Trump’s Turnberry firm paid £50,000 by US Government for weekend visit

The Scotsman

Donald Trump’s Turnberry firm was paid more than £50,000 by his own government to cover the accommodation bill for his weekend stay at his loss-making resort, The Scotsman can reveal.

US federal government spending records seen by this newspaper show a series of payments worth a total of £52,477 were made by the State Department to SLC Turnberry Limited, the company behind the South Ayrshire hotel and golf course. 

The five-figure windfall, which represents the first example of how Mr Trump’s firm was paid for his contentious working visit to the UK, has been condemned by ethics watchdogs, with one group accusing the 72-year-old of “using the power and authority of his office to profit personally”.

  1. Par for the course, no doubt and his supporters will cry, “not true, they’ll say anything to ruin our president.” What a joke! Of course, Trump will have some smooth denial for this criminal act.

  2. I would say that’s a cost savings to the taxpayers.

    I mean he paid Stormy Daniels £150,000 to keep her mouth shut.

    But I guess she just can’t do that.

    So she “Accidentally”… tried to kill a cop with her tits.

    Big fkng deal.

    So I guess the moral of the story is…

    Save … £100,000 at the Trump resort.

    We won’t piss and tell…
