Air Force sent crews to Trump resort in Scotland up to 40 times
The reports come as Vice President Pence is dealing with ongoing criticism over his stay at a Trump property in Doonbeg, Ireland, earlier this month, roughly 180 miles from Dublin, where he was participating in a series of meetings.
Marc Short, Pence's chief of staff, initially said that Trump made a "suggestion" to Pence to stay at Doonbeg, but later reversed course and clarified the president played no role in the decision.

The Air Force said aircraft, particularly C-17 cargo planes, have increasingly used nearby Prestwick Airport as a refueling stop in recent years. From 95 stopovers in 2015, including 40 overnight stays, the number jumped to 257 last year, including 208 overnight stays.
Through August this year, there were 259 Air Force aircraft stopovers at Prestwick, including 220 overnight stays, according to the Air Force.

Is this a shock anymore? It’s like the Trump administration is s Smorgasburg of crime and graft. A cornucopia of corruption. A cavalcade of lawless behavior.
There’s an emoluments clause in the constitution for a reason.
It’s like everything Republicans have ever accused the Democrats of doing exists in this administration.
Is this happening or is it the hash?
