Lots of things don’t add up and they want answers.

21 October marks the fifteenth anniversary of the incorporation of Mr Trump’s first Scottish company, set up to facilitate the development of his inaugural Scottish course. In the decade-and-a-half since, he has acquired Turnberry, one of the world’s showpiece golf resorts, and tried - with varying success - to expand the footprint of his Scottish firms by pursuing large-scale house building projects and retirement-style enclaves, or luxury helicopter charter services which later floundered.

One thread has remained constant; in that entire time, not a single one of Mr Trump’s companies has paid a penny in corporation tax to authorities in the UK. The reason? Not a single one has ever turned a profit.

I do think it would cause a net drop in revenue - golfers in Britain are more likely to see him as vulgar, and practically no one would see his name as an extra reason to use a course. He hasn't obtained all the planning permissions he thought he'd get.

Many--as far as I can see and hear are just passing it off as Trump is not a good businessman.
