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

[Harpy Eagle]

Please show us where the constitution talks about airports and airplanes.

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.

This is not the president stopping, it is military aircraft that have suddenly started to use this commercial airport when they never did prior to Trump taking office.

Not so different than obama listing mooches' relatives as military personnel to get them on a flight, is it?

Another factless void posted by an orange sycophant.

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?

Your crook made sure they'd land near by and spend your tax payer $$$ for oil for the plane It is an effort to keep his hotel and the airport from failing

How does buying jet fuel from a BRITISH government run airport help a trump property.

 

[rightwinger]

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.

It is ******* ridiculous

Military transport planes stop at MILITARY BASES for refueling. At the base the crew will find government quarters and buy fuel at government prices

Why would a C17 have to stop at a tiny airport in Scotland and then drive 30 miles to a luxury Trump hotel?

There is a tiny airport 30 miles from the Trump resort. Next closest is an hour and a half away. Keeping that airport profitable is in Trumps best interest

Why pay British Government fuel prices when they could stop at a US base and pay lower military rates?

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 Emoluments clause
Purposes of the Emoluments Clauses Each of the Emoluments Clauses has a distinct, but related, purpose. The purpose of the Foreign Emoluments Clause is to prevent corruption and limit foreign influence on federal officers. The Clause grew out of the Framers’ experience with the European custom of gift-giving to foreign diplomats, which the Articles of Confederation prohibited. Following that precedent, the Foreign Emoluments Clause prohibits federal officers from accepting foreign emoluments without congressional consent. The purpose of the Domestic Emoluments Clause is to preserve the President’s independence. Under the Clause, Congress may neither increase nor decrease the President’s compensation during his term, preventing the legislature from using its control over the President’s salary to exert influence over him. To further preserve presidential independence, the Clause prohibits a sitting President from receiving emoluments from federal or state governments, except for his fixed salary.
Throw the POS out of the WH

First a no show on taxes ,,next no blind trust This creep who nitwit republicans put into the highest office in THE WORLD will continues to shit on everything that has made America the greatest country in the world Impeachment is too good for the slob A horse whipping is more suited to a scum like he is

 

[edward37]

If Trump loses the 2020 election and refuses to leave - will the military protect him? I would ordinarily say, hell no. But now I'm not so sure. What do you think?

Good lord! Are you that far into your delusions?

Yes.

So sad that you have TDS so bad.

Great book for you to read ""Everything Trump Touches Dies"

What country will ever trust us with Trump or a republican as President ?? Israel? ,,,bought and paid for?

Yes, because Scotland is on the way to the Middle East

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 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. 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?

Ah, from Russian collusion we've come this, eh?

 

[WTH_Progs?]

Rachel Maddow just finished a nice segment on this Politico story. Trump seems to be really raiding the military to enrich himself.

ILMAO............Maddow's brain extends to emotions only, and she's a wreck. The only reason progs liker her is she's a lesbian and hysterical. She should run for POTUS.

Yep, Dr. Maddow is brilliant.

Actually, in the two years he has been POTUS, he has set back over 20 years of progressive maneuvering to destroy this country from within.
