President Donald Trumps pair of golf resorts in Scotland have steadily lost money, with losses calculated at $23 million the last year his company reported figures to United Kingdom officials.
U.S. voters may not know that.
Thats because Trump told U.S. officials that Trump Turnberry earned $15 million and Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeen earned $3.8 million in what he describes as golf-related revenue for roughly the same period of time.
Trump, who is expected to visit his Turnberry property this weekend while on a week-long trip to Europe, appears to have masked some of his companys problems in Scotland on his personal financial disclosure required of U.S. government officials, according to several experts who reviewed the document.

And this is okay why?
I wish I didn't remember the reaction to President Clinton's sex life. "It's the LYING," I seem to remember someone moaning.
