Pay up dude!!
In Scotland, @realDonaldTrump fought the Scottish govt over a windfarm that would alter the view from his golf course. He lost. Now, a court says he's also got to pay his opponents' legal fees.

Scottish Government Burns Trump In Reverse Emoluments Case

March 1, 2019 5:34 pm
In Scotland, President Donald Trump battled the government over a wind power development that, he complained, would alter the view from his golf course in Aberdeenshire. But he lost that battle. And a court in the U.K. has ruled that the Trump International Golf Club Scotland must pay all of the legal costs that the Scottish government incurred fighting Trump.
In late 2015before Trump was presidentthe U.K. Supreme Court rejected the Trump Organizations legal challenge to the wind farm. Former First Minister Alex Salmond asserted that the ruling left Trump a three time loser. And the Trump Organization had a characteristically Trumpian response: Does anyone care what this man thinks? Hes a has-been and totally irrelevant.
The wind farm, which contains eleven turbines altogether, generated its first power in July 2018 and was developed by the Swedish energy group Vattenfall.
According to the BBC, the exact sum that the Trump Organization will owe the Scottish government has not been disclosed..........................................

Maybe they could seize his golf course if he doesn't pay.
