Not diverting anything....their first page (which few if any ever get past) is all left wing sites. A new study figures it cost Trump from 3-12M votes....what's your opinion of such blatant propaganda?[/QUOTE]
Who cares if it costs votes. He is profiting off his office.
Actually in this case they do not. They normally refuel at a military base rather than go out of their way to a Trump resort.
Prove it.
What millions of people did he welcome?

The US military may have spent millions to help prop up a Trump resort
The House Oversight Committee is investigating military spending at an airport near a Trump property in Ayer, Scotland, as well as visits to that property by service members, in the latest of a growing number of inquiries into government expenditures that seem to financially benefit President Donald Trump and his businesses.
The military has spent $11 million on fuel alone at the Prestwick Airport near Trump’s Turnberry resort since fall of 2017, Politico reported. And reporting by the Guardianfound the airport has provided discounted rooms and complimentary rounds of golf at the Trump resort for some US military members. The expenditures are unusual given buying fuel from Prestwick Airport costs the government (and, ultimately, taxpayers) more than refueling at military bases, such as the nearby Lakenheath Air Base in England.
And the stays at Trump resorts are equally as unusual and costly, as Politico’s Natasha Bertrand and Bryan Bender note in their account of the experiences of five Air National Guard troops who stayed the Turnberry resort this year while on a mission to Kuwait:
One crew member was so struck by the choice of hotel — markedly different than the Marriotts and Hiltons the 176th maintenance squadron is used to — that he texted someone close to him and told him about the stay, sending a photo and noting that the crew’s per diem allowance wasn’t enough to cover food and drinks at the ritzy resort.
The spending captured the attention of the House Oversight Committee, and in June, it sent the Pentagon a letter demanding an explanation. The Department of Defense, however, has refused to turn over any documents to investigators.
Trump has been under scrutiny since the beginning of his presidency for refusing to divest his interests in his businesses. And as recently as last week, when it was reported Trump suggested Vice President Mike Pence stay at one of his hotels during a visit to Ireland, the president has been accused of using his office to enrich himself.

How is it enriching the Trump resort when the airport is owned by the Scottish government?

When you deport the same person 5 times and count it 5 times are you really making an impact?

Because without that financially troubled airport near Trump's financially troubled resort - it would be in deeper shit. You really need to keep up.

Aside from the fact that without a nearby airport, people are less likely to go there, military members are also staying there.
What what would be best would to compare it to prior administrations. How often did they use Trump resorts and divert to nearby airports instead of military airports for refueling compared to now. Any idea?
Link.
Injun speaks with forked tongue...duh, YEAH it was. The closest price to the Trump $134 was $161 with an AF limit of $165. Now go soak your head in fire water....head lice are so 19th century.

Go right ahead. Interview the flight crew and see if they were ordered to refuel there.
How about you wait until you have something instead of assuming the worst? Stop acting like a libtard!
