Very proud of perhaps the greatest golf course anywhere in the world. Also, furthers U.K. relationship! https://t.co/3xTzzJH6Iq— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 2, 2019
David Frum responded with this:
1) The two Trump golf courses in Scotland have lost something like $200 million under Trump management. The losses are covered by loans from the Trump Organization. But where is that money coming from? Trump Co doesn't have anything like sufficient income https://t.co/EJHAnsvbHu— David Frum (@davidfrum) March 2, 2019
2) Trump bought the land for his Aberdeen golf course in 2006 and Turnberry in 2014. By then, no reputable lender wd deal with him. How did he find the cash to buy the properties?— David Frum (@davidfrum) March 2, 2019
3) Trump's latest tweet about his golf course not only used the prestige of the presidency to promote his business - squalid, possibly illegal - but also directly linked the US-UK relationship to his golf courses. Was that some kind of request? Or threat?— David Frum (@davidfrum) March 2, 2019
Today, Frum added this:
So this explains Trump's golf course tweet yesterday. He was threatening the UK government with harm to the US-UK relationship if he is forced to pay the Scottish government's legal costs in litigation Trump started & lost https://t.co/0EWiluExDJ— David Frum (@davidfrum) March 3, 2019
I'm beginning to believe that more than anything else, it's the money that will ruin Donald.
In other Trump news, he spoke for 2 hours at CPAC yesterday. Can you imagine sitting through that? Apparently the whole thing was strange and unsettling; this is just a tiny portion of the speech:
This crackpot has the nuclear codes in his pocket. Sleep tight, world. pic.twitter.com/KBffCkHhlV— Bob Cesca (@bobcesca_go) March 3, 2019
I can't reiterate this enough: Trump's whatever-the-hell-that-was today at CPAC was deeply disturbing and profoundly dangerous. The president of the United States is mentally unstable and a threat to the safety and security of the free world. Not joking. This is a crisis.— Bob Cesca (@bobcesca_go) March 3, 2019
Finally, if you have the stomach for it, watch the moment Donald hugs the flag as he walks out onto the stage:
