Donald Trump's Scottish resort paid by US taxpayers for 'VIP visit'

Donald Trump’s flagship Scottish resort received thousands of pounds in US taxpayers’ money to host VIP visits by officials from his administration, an investigation by The Scotsman can reveal.

The US president’s resort at Turnberry received more than £5,600 in federal funds to provide accommodation for the trip earlier this year.

According to a source at the South Ayrshire hotel and golf course, the stay was in connection with Mr Trump’s official visit to the UK scheduled for this July, which is expected to include Scotland in the itinerary.

The payment, sanctioned last month by the US State Department, represents the first time one of Mr Trump’s Scottish businesses has received direct federal funding from his own government.

GOP is a pack of lying thieves. They cut food aid for the poor, and squander our tax money on luxuries for themselves. What a ripoff.

6. This makes no sense.

His golf resort isn't close to Edinburgh, let alone London.

It might make some sense if the trip is planned for Edinburgh and meeting MSPs at Holyrood. But The Orange Shartgibbon is going to London.

7. Isn't the Trumpster all about making deals?

And "America First"?

How come his own company won't provide a deal for the US?

Oh, because he's a grifter.
