Trump Expanding Scottish Golf Resort After Vowing Not To Make New Foreign Deals

[Lakhota]

Donald Trump plays a round in July 2012 when his opened his Trump International Golf Links course in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Now he’s proceeding with expanding the resort despite last week’s promise that his company wouldn’t be involved in any new private business deals abroad.

“No new foreign deals ... whatsoever” apparently doesn’t include this one.

A multimillion-dollar expansion of Donald Trump’s Scottish golf resort is proceeding despite a promise just days ago by his attorneys that “no new foreign deals will be made whatsoever” by the president-elect’s businesses, in an effort to avoid conflicts of interest during his presidency.

The Aberdeenshire Council has approved a second 18-hole golf course and more housing in the Trump International Golf Links Scotland operation. The expansion will substantially grow the complex and include a 450-room five-star hotel, timeshare complex and private housing estate, The Guardian reported Saturday. Changes are expected to significantly boost the value of the operation to the Trump Organization.

Trump’s attorney Sheri Dillon announced at his press conference last week that in order to avoid potential conflicts of interest, her client has “ordered that all pending deals be terminated.” Trump is also arranging to turn over management of his companies to his adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, but will maintain ownership and investments in his American and global companies and real estate deals. It’s an arrangement that the head of the Office of Government Ethics said fails to meet an ethics standard met by every other president in the last four decades.

Trump owns 100 percent of the Trump International Golf Links Scotland, according to the Guardian.

A written statement later issued by Dillon’s law firm Morgan Lewis emphasized that Trump’s promise “prohibits — without exception — new foreign deals during the duration of President-elect Trump’s presidency.”

It added: “Specifically, the Trust and The Trump Organization will be prohibited at all times ... from engaging in any new deals with respect to the use of the ‘Trump’ brand or any trademark, trade name, or marketing intangibles associated with The Trump Organization or Donald J. Trump in any foreign jurisdictions.”

But now Trump’s transition team insists that the golf resort expansion doesn’t constitute a new deal.

Words mean nothing to Trump. It certainly appears that he is subject to impeachment immediately upon being sworn in as president.

You are comparing a golf course to a foreign trade deal.
You are an imbecile.

Now bedwetters are raping the meaning of the word "new"

Although it is highly unlikely that Republicans will initiate impeachment proceedings against Trump - 2018 may be a different story.
