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

What I want to know is who in Ireland is Trump trying to enrich?

So Trump owns the fuel supply for the airport in Shannon, Ireland? Where is your link?

Nobody said he did.

No, sparky, but without that airport Trump's resort would be down even more than 69%. Just concentrate. The dots ain't that hard to connect. Also, it has been widely reported how valuable that airport is to Trump.

Next nearest airport is an hour and a half away
Not many rich folks will drive that far. Trump will have to helicopter them in

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?

What part of "Commander In Chief" don't you understand????

WTF are you babbling about?

Having an airport right next to his golf course is essential to the profitability of that golf course. Stop pretending stupidity. People will start to think it's not a pretense

 

[deanrd]

He left the Air Force pilots to wander around his resort not able to afford food because their stipend was barely enough to cover their rooms.

More Trump/GOP love for the military?

US Government spending $11 million on fuel at that airport sure helps

I'm sure they could always be put to work doing something. Cleaning rooms., mowing lawns, working the kitchen. You know, stuff like that. They are after all, our servants are they not?

You do not understand what an emolument is! That is why you libtards are so stupid. You make up your own definitions to words you do not understand, which is usually anything over two syllables.

Well, except for the fact that it is NOT right next to his golf course! Why don't you lay off the booze while posting, Lush?

This emolument issue was resolved before Trump took office. This is why he legally signed his rights to his businesses over to his children.
This is just the media trying to make it look like Trump is corrupt so they won't look as corrupt in comparison. Hell, Hillary and Bill have gotten jobs for their kid and taken bribes from Russians....yet that's nothing to you people compared to Trump International comping some rooms for military members. Get a clue. Giving free room and board to government members isn't the same as charging them for it.
The media has no evidence of wrongdoing and most of what they report is speculation generated from what little they know yet.

Maybe she thinks emoluments is Trump slashing prices to accommodate tired soldiers on stopovers.
My understanding is an emolument is charging people more than normal.
