A potential £1 million bailout to US President Donald Trump for his two Scottish golf resorts was criticised on Wednesday for increasing the burden on the UK taxpayer. That is not going to happen to Mr Trump who will remain very wealthy whatever happens. "Yet the burden on the UK taxpayer will be increased because Mr Trump's business is getting helped. Almost no-one, except Mr Trump, is going to think that is right." Before the coronavirus crisis, the Turnberry resort had been due to pay £850,766 in property tax this year and Trump Aberdeenshire £121,170, according to The Guardian.
