highlandannie He's gonna make you Scotts miserable! Trump plan to build 500 houses around his money-losing Scottish golf courseThe Trump Organization is planning to build 500 houses in the area surrounding the Trump International Golf Links in rural Scotland — and Quartz reporter Max de Haldevang says the transaction is “d*mn weird.” According to de Haldevang, the Trump Organization will spend an estimated $200 million to build the homes, which will essentially comprise a village outside the president’s Scottish golf course. What makes this particularly strange, he argues, is that this golf course has been a major money loser for the Trump Organization — but that’s not stopping it from using nothing but cash to fund the project. The Trump Organization roughly a decade ago stopped taking on debt to finance its projects and instead went on a buying spree using cash-only transactions. The big mystery, as de Haldevang points out, is where all this cash is coming from to spend on money-losing projects. However, he notes that all-cash transactions on this scale are usually a warning light that the money is being laundered for foreign criminal enterprises. “Britain, and Scotland in particular, are also notorious spots for money-laundering,” he writes. “Trump’s Florida properties are awash with Russian cash, and he’s had business relationships with questionable characters from across the [former Soviet Union]. Given the opacity of Trump’s business, there’s little more we can do than speculate at what, in any case, is a d*mn weird project to spend so much money on.” qz.com/1341021/where-did-trump-org-get-the-money-to-build-a-village-in-scotland/

"Page not found."
I understand that people in Scotland can't stand him. I'd like to know where he gets all his "cash" but I'm sure that's why he won't show his tax forms and why he is buddies with Putin.

If he wants to build houses, maybe he could build some in the United States.. for homeless people, veterans, the families that were torn apart at the border, etc...

This guy has been compromised for awhile:
Though Trump has never succeeded in developing property in Russia, his company has benefited significantly from Russian money in the form of its clientele. For example, according to a Bloomberg investigation into Trump World Tower, which broke ground in 1998, “a third of units sold on floors 76 through 83 by 2004 involved people or limited liability companies connected to Russia and neighboring states.” Trump World Tower sales agent Debra Stotts told Bloomberg that they had “big buyers from Russia and Ukraine and Kazakhstan.” New York real estate broker Dolly Lenz sold “about 65 units in Trump World Tower.… to Russian buyers
It's become common knowledge that Trump Tower is the Russian mafia headquarters. It's also common knopwledge that the Russian mob is just an offshoot of Putin's security (repression) apparatus.

Trump org plans 500 new homes
I doubt this will happen. Can't figure out why the Scottish parliament would agree for houses to be built in a Conservation area? It looks like there isn't council planning permission given yet. Few would buy any houses his name is on anyway....
Yes, he's been hated in Scotland long before he became US dictator. His golf clubs have been losing money for years. He bullied people into selling their homes and land to build one of his golf courses, and he HATES the two who couldn't be bullied and are still living in their houses. 
Trump tried to stop wind turbines from being built near one of his golf courses because it spoiled the scenery. He didn't win. Idiot would prefer coal. Scotland is number one in all of Europe for using renewable energy and could be fossil fuel free by 2030.

@the U.S.- The Idiot would prefer coal.
The Democrats have proved with their response to Climate Change that they are superior businessmen as there are enormous opportunities for making $$
in the 'alternative energy' markets. The Republicans(as usual) embrace the past, trying to squeeze the last penny out of toxic technologies, regardless of
the impact to coming generations.
GOP: insuring the U.S. having a place with Third World nations.  |

Actually, with the millions of foreclosed houses in this country there are plenty of places for the homeless. The problem is they can't afford them.
