I am watching 'You've Been Trumped"

[dixiegrrrrl]

the documentary about the building of the golf course in Scotland.

Interesting to view it now, after we have learned so much about him.

One of the issues in the doc. is how he badgered, belittled, and insulted the land owners near the course, building spite fences and mountains of sand to block their view of the water.
Some good coverage of Donald Jr, there too...looking a whole lot like that drug company guy, the one with the punchable face.

Highly recommend seeing this. It is available on Netflix.

2. What does this do to

the game of Bridge. Do we have to come up with another name for the Trump card / suit?

6. My parents and grandparents played a lot

but I never really got into it. I was more into Pinochle.

7. After the doc, this is what happened:

Donald Trump has lost tens of millions on Scottish golf courses, accounts show,
and reveal he has avoided paying UK corporation tax on the two courses.
the accounts show he has sunk more than £102m ($125m) of his own money into both businesses, despite losing increasing sums on both investments.
The accounts suggest he may never make a profit on either resort, although the Trump family insist Turnberry will return to profitability in the short to medium term.
