Trump's campaign is a hot mess,so off to Scotland he goes.

Because why not?

Facing questions about meager fundraising, slipping poll numbers and campaign instability, Donald Trump is tending to business — in Scotland.

In his first international trip since becoming the presumptive Republican nominee, Trump plans to check on a pair of his championship golf resorts. Some Republicans worry that the billionaire's attention is divided between his businesses and his campaign

"I'm not sure what the purpose of the trip is," said Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., who added that he hopes Trump "would get back here quickly."

Trump's son, Eric, who oversaw the two-year, more than $300 million renovation at the Trump Turnberry golf course, dismissed those concerns, saying "the eyes of the world" will be on his father during a two-day stay in Scotland that begins Friday.

Everyone is praising his campaign now. They are saying he gave a great policy speech that was disciplined. The CNN and other pundits are talking about how positive things are going of late.
