Yesterday President Trump retweeted a tweet by one his hotels with the following message,
"...And the Trump family didn’t ask the Federal government for money to carry this and many other very expensive to carry properties!"
The original tweet has since been deleted, most likely due to the legality of the president promoting his own businesses.
What he didn't refer to is that his two golfing resorts in Scotland will be receiving a $1.3m bailout from the Scottish government. His businesses in Scotland have never paid corporation tax as every year they report a massive loss with the biggest debt paid to the president of $200m. This is most likely reported to the IRS where the president pays his taxes on revenue earned for overseas operations.
He probably also was not directly referring to the $75,000 bill picked up by the US taxpayer for his son Eric's trip to Mongolia to hunt and kill a rare wild goat. Eric killed the animal which is close to endangered, had a secret meeting with the president of Mongolia and then received a posthumous permit for slaying another of nature's least intelligent mammals.
