Scotland has a special place in history: it's one of the first countries to officially give candidate Donald Trump the middle finger. After his pig-headed comments about immigration and Muslims, the Scottish government stripped his "business ambassador to Scotland" title and revoked his honorary degree from a local university.

Now, Scotland also looks like a financial pain in the ass for the president. The two Trump golf resorts there already weren't doing well, but a report obtained by the Associated Press found that losses at the two courses doubled last year to more than $23 million. That's the third year in a row they've operated at a loss. And they aren't just losing money: revenue also dropped from $15 million in 2015 to just over $11 million last year.

When Trump became president, he kept his financial interests but his cartoon henchmen sons took over management of the resorts. Now some of that profit loss can be attributed to portions of the courses being shut down for repairs and renovations. Some of it's blamed on the pound fluctuating. But it's also hard to oversell Trump's unpopularity in Scotland. Per the AP:

Much of the anger toward Trump in Scotland is centered around his resort outside Aberdeen overlooking the North Sea coast and its famed sand dunes stretching into the distance. Called the Trump International Golf Links, it is here that a local fisherman became a national hero of sorts for refusing a $690,000 offer from Trump for his land and where footage was shot for a documentary on Trump's fights with the residents, called "Tripping Up Trump."

But for the president, the why may not matter. Trump has always sold himself as a rich winner, and, even after he took the White House, protecting his personal brand has been his highest priority. And he's kept his aura of success despite the spectacular failure of Trump University, the Trump Taj Mahal, and, honestly, you don't need the whole list, right? But this is one of the few ventures Trump has taken in recent years where he's personally invested rather than just selling his name for other people to use on their buildings. It'd be a shame if Trump International Golf Links were the first Trump failure to actually embarrass the president.

That was supposed to be Donald Jr.'s job.
