The Trump Organisations plans for a major expansion of its flagship Scottish resort by building swaths of housing and luxury villas have been thwarted, further jeopardising efforts by the US presidents company to stem multimillion pound losses at its most prestigious overseas property.
Donald Trumps firm wanted to significantly increase the footprint of its Trump Turnberry resort, with his son, Eric, personally overseeing blueprints for a new housing development on landholdings surrounding the historic golf venue.
The Trump Organisation enlisted architects in an attempt to rezone agricultural land for development, pointing to the firms excellent track record of investment in the region and describing the proposals as very positive for the area.
However, The Scotsman has learned that planners at a Scottish local authority have rejected the Trump Organisations request to reclassify the vast tracts of farmland along the rugged Firth of Clyde coastline for housing.

(63,221 posts)Doesn't he get the fact that these people hate him and that he is hated around the world? Who does he think his market is going to be?
The only people that are pro-Trump can't afford to stay in one of his resorts and he has to bribe foreign governments and order our own military to stay at his properties just to keep them afloat.
His brand is as good as dead.

All he will have left is the Russian oligarch laundry money.

Maybe he could call up the First Minister and twist her arm... gather up up Barr and Pompeo, Pence and the gang everybody get on the line...

(14,155 posts)Why not build 10 to 15 golf courses over in Russia. That should be a big hit and very profitable.
