Air Force crew made an odd stop on a routine trip: Trump’s Scottish resort

[Pilot1]

Yeah, Trump, a Billionaire, and worldwide real estate owner, really needs to enrich himself using the military. I guess this needs to go in the Russia, Stormy category. You Commies are more than desperate, your sad.

Maybe the U.S. should just by Scotland and turn the whole country into a golf resort only for U.S. taxpayers and property owners. You know, the producers that pay for everything.

Unbelievable
Instead of stopping at Military base Ramstein/Germany from the USA to Kuwait and back, the C17s now stop at Trump's Failing Scottish resort and it's little local airport to keep them both afloat.
CRIMINAL MFer!

He's such a Blatant Criminal, and none of his Traitorous Supporters ever care.
Any decent citizens who object to his Outrageous Frauds are called "TDS".

Pentagon stonewalled Congress' request for info on the hush hush Trump Enrichment flights.

Impeach and Imprison.

Where exactly does a C17 land at a golf club?

I recommend a par 5 with no dog leg.

Now the layover is part of a broader House inquiry into military spending at and around the Trump property.

In early Spring of this year, an Air National Guard crew made a routine trip from the U.S. to Kuwait to deliver supplies.

What wasn’t routine was where the crew stopped along the way: President Donald Trump’s Turnberry resort, about 50 miles outside Glasgow, Scotland.

Since April, the House Oversight Committee has been investigating why the crew on the C-17 military transport plane made the unusual stay — both en route to the Middle East and on the way back — at the luxury waterside resort, according to several people familiar with the incident. But they have yet to receive any answers from the Pentagon.

The inquiry is part of a broader, previously unreported probe into U.S. military expenditures at and around the Trump property in Scotland. According to a letterthe panel sent to the Pentagon in June, the military has spent $11 million on fuel at the Prestwick Airport — the closest airport to Trump Turnberry — since October 2017, fuel that would be cheaper if purchased at a U.S. military base. The letter also cites a Guardian report that the airport provided cut-rate rooms and free rounds of golf at Turnberry for U.S. military members.

Taken together, the incidents raise the possibility that the military has helped keep Trump’s Turnberry resort afloat — the property lost $4.5 million in 2017, but revenue went up $3 million in 2018.

“The Defense Department has not produced a single document in this investigation,” said a senior Democratic aide on the oversight panel. “The committee will be forced to consider alternative steps if the Pentagon does not begin complying voluntarily in the coming days.”

The Pentagon, Air Force and White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Wow, this is very strange. It's also somewhat alarming that the Air Force and Pentagon are not responding to congressional inquires. Has Trump co-opted our military?

Odd place to stop

At the Prestwick Airport — the closest airport to Trump Turnberry. Can't you read? That airport is also in deep financial trouble. It appears that Trump has been trying to bail it out by buying overpriced fuel instead of refueling at military bases.

Seems he has no shame in doing so

 

[DGS49]

Yet another manifestation of TDS.

so the theory is that President Trump ordered these planes to stop at a general location so that they would buy fuel from...who, exactly...and stay at a reduced rate at one of his resorts...in order to line his pockets.

******* ridiculous.

From the OP:

According to a letter the panel sent to the Pentagon in June, the military has spent $11 million on fuel at the Prestwick Airport — the closest airport to Trump Turnberry — since October 2017, fuel that would be cheaper if purchased at a U.S. military base.

I repeat: $11 million

The only thing about it that's odd is that no other president has forced our military to go to a commercial airport, pay higher fuel prices to refuel, which is very close to his own golf course and is having troubles staying open.

His golf course was losing millions. Not anymore. At least since he became president.

That airport has been financially having problems for years and is the closest airport to trump's golf course.

If that airport closes, his golf course is in huge financial trouble.

It's not hard to see.

No other president has so brazenly abused our military that way and has ever taken so many millions of our tax dollars for their own personal companies.

It's unconstitutional and disgusting.

And when haven't Presidents used non military airports throughout history? Kennedy flew into Love Field the day he was shot in Dallas. The TDS squad is really desperate these days. Sad.
