NBC News reports:
Scottish golf courses owned by President Donald Trump’s businesses stand to benefit from more than a million dollars of taxpayer money, as part of a coronavirus relief program run by the Scottish government, according to government officials and an executive at one of Trump’s companies.
The financial relief is aimed at helping the country’s tourism and leisure industries hurt by the economic downturn from the coronavirus pandemic.
The Trump Organization owns a 45-hole golf resort in Turnberry, a famed course on Scotland’s windy west coast, and a smaller course and hotel north of Aberdeenshire, called Trump International Scotland.
…And the Trump family didn’t ask the Federal government for money to carry this and many other very expensive to carry properties! https://t.co/IakI8RiWfj

They had to write it into the legislation that you and your family could not profit from it. Because they couldn’t count on you have the decency to decline a bailout from your own administration. So that’s why your family did not ask for one. No points.

There’s a 9/11 or Katrina-level of preventable deaths happening in America every three days, and Trump’s plan is to starting holding rallies and promoting his golf courses more. https://t.co/bBCy1U5jkq

Tens of millions of Americans are unemployed and 100k+ dead … and @realDonaldTrump is not only congratulating himself for not using taxpayer money to open his golf course & hotels, but shamelessly promoting their availability. #VoteTrumpOut https://t.co/Z0di16F8ZA
