A general view of the Trump Turnberry hotel and golf resort in Turnberry, Scotland.The Air Force, which said in a statement it was reviewing the trip records, said the stop was"not unusual." But it's another example of Trump's company earning money from taxpayer dollars, which has led some government watchdogs to argue the arrangement breaches ethical norms and potentially violates a clause of the US Constitution.
The Pentagon and White House have not responded to CNN's request for comment regarding the stopovers in Scotland and the stays at Turnberry. The Trump Organization also did not respond to a request for comment regarding the stays at Turnberry.The use of Trump's private properties for government-related travel has been an ongoing controversy during his presidency.
More hype and bullshit
So what? Are they expected to stay for free? Service rendered service paid...isn’t that how it is when you go to any hotel?
Ridiculous
If Obama has done this, we would never hear the end of it!
Who gives a flip? So what!
There are military installations within short distances, which are likely better equipped to service US aircraft. Apparently fuel is also available at a cheaper price.
If Trump loves the military so much, why not allow our servicemen to stay at his hotels FOR FREE? That way he makes no $$ off the practice, and, they get a little bit well-deserved luxury. Something to legitimately brag about, right? But we know he won't. God forbid.
The grifter at work. Pocketing millions
There is something seriously wrong & illegal about this, who gave the orders & signed off on this. Needs to be investigated all the way to the top!
This is such a non-story. Joe Biden charged the Secret Service to stay in his guest house. How about earning money off of the taxpayer funded security of your residence?
They deserve the best .... they protect our COUNTRY .... why the hell are you complaining ..... CNN has nothing better to do. Republicans love ❤️ our military .... so they get a perk once in awhile.
I’m sure the Airforce were not unhappy about it. CNN would rather have them stay at the YMCA or the YWCA.
I'm suppose to believe this was just coincidence it had to with Trump making money off this while there is stonewalling going on with the investigation? First NOAA defends Trump now this
TurnberryFolios
Did they stay for free? I mean, that guy who says he’s the best president ever owns the muhfukkah. Maybe he’s trying to save us all some money? He did say he was fitna balance the national debt... Let’s see the folios
Trump keeps getting richer by using the presidency to engross his wallet, and no one is saying anything about it.
You should be more concerned about Nancy Pelosi's friends & family world travels on the taxpayers' $$$ than on what may benefit the family of a president who donates his presidential income to charities & gov. offices. Nancy's wine bill charged to US gov. should be investigated.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The left will complain about anything. Their staffs/PR people should know by now continued complaining hurts them vs helps them. We will never know when “they’re on to something” because they complain about virtually everything. He’s completely taking them apart as a party.
Lol
Trump corruptionat it’s worst!
No one cares
CNN.... stop shitting the bed.
Would they have stayed there 5 years ago before Trump became a thing?
What a snoozer
Trump doesn't miss a trick when it comes to making money, legal or illegal. Too bad his attention to detail about money making does not carry over to his responsibiity to the country.
Trump's property was losing millions before the Air Force was forced to stay there. The nearby airport was losing millions, but are now making millions. The Air Force is paying higher fuel charges at this airport than they would have if they refueled at an Air Force base.
Look up Trump in the dictionary and the definition is self interest.
So we poor tax payers are paying to enrich his mean ass?
What a great perk to our serving military. CNN would rather they stay at the Motel 6 🙄
Oh stop. There is no rules for politicians anymore and it’s a joke. Want a bj in the office? Sure! Want to be corrupt on government contracts? Absolutely! Want to have a secret server where you get emails illegally and delete them? Fuck yea! Let’s go move to Martha Vineyards
Why, our military personnel don’t deserve to be treated good?
Why does this matter?
He has properties all over the world- seems to be hard not to stay in one of his resorts.
If I had the Air Force One. I'd ride it to the bar
Corrupt
Why do the United States who has military bases all over the world and yet is using a private air port in Scotland for refueling US Military Aircraft? There really is a problem at the DOD. Who is the “acting head”?
Quickly.. lets get Robert Mueller on the case golfcollusion
DoremusJ PresidentialGrift
Free country/ get over it!
BOO HOO! CNN BOO HOO!
They used the government scheduling app and got the lowest price in the area and you get upset? They should pay more to avoid the appearance of Trump benefiting because that is what the dems would do. Pay more for less.
If any Democratic President have done this, the GOP would have gone nuts.
Money, money,money for Trump.
No shame, rules don't apply, no bottom. Vote blue please, let's get back to being America..im sick of this insane road trip. 😔
Wake up Congress.
You support the Clintons and Obamas and you're worried about ethics … hypocrites !
BAGHDAD BOB THE NEW CNNN
Trump doesn’t care who knows he is raping America.
Do it check out all the lifer politicians, there’s your ethics violators.. oh it’s CNN , never mind..
What about Ilhan Omar Ethics?
No more stealing the taxpayers money...what a horrible president, filling his own pockets from people who work so hard ! Too much golf, too little hiring qualified people , and too little listening, Trump is NOT QUALIFIED FOR THIS IMPORTANT JOB. EVERY DAY IS A NEW DRAMA, DANGER!
If the price was the cheapest. It’s not an issue. If they stopped there for the sole purpose of sorbdinh money. It’s a huge issue
FAKE NEWS CNN. Trump divested himself from all businesses on Nov 2016. He did this legally by signing over his businesses. Get over it!!!
Who cares! So trivial! How about reporting on stories that matter. But CNN never will if it’s a negative story involving The Left. So let me share a few this week with your “in the dark” viewers. Wise up viewers. You are purposely being misinformed and misled. Research them!
Who cares! So trivial! How about reporting on stories that matter. But CNN will NEVER if they are negative about ANYONE or ANYTHING concerning The Left. So let me share a few this week for your “kept in the dark” viewers. To the viewers: Research these stories yourself.
Desperate for the business?
On the upside, it was the only place in the UK that Elvis ever went. Not sure that justifies buying fuel there rather than a a USAF forecourt though.
So what.
All of them should be fired and investigate who's idea this was, or if POTUS ordered.
Thank you mr President!
You got him! My god, you nailed TRUMP !
So. Have to stay somewhere. Be hilarious if Trump knew all you fake news people would jump on this and he gave the rooms to them for free. OMG. That be such a setup for you to bite on 🤣🤣🤣
How much did it cost the taxpayers
i like to stay there too if Marriot is more expensive !
'They made reservations through the Defense Travel System & used the closest available & least expensive accommodations to the airfield.' So a high-end golf resort is on the allowable list of places to stay? I need to get a government job.
Give me a break. It even says in the article that Turnberry was cheaper than the other hotels. So now do some investigative reporting and see how much the number would be if they didn't stay at Trump resorts. By the look of it Trump properties are saving the government money.
There is so much more it is actually comical. One day perhaps probe the Kushner 5th Avenue deal.
where would you like our Air Force crews to stay?
Trump's lies and profits enriching himself, family members, foreign allies, and loyalty Repubs off US taxpayers.
There is only one way a con-job this big where the POTUS blatantly gets rich off his Presidency can only happen with the partners-in-crime of the GOP, the NRA & PUTIN/RUSSIA.... DNC
SO....
What amenities did Trump’s Golf Resort offer?...free round of golf? Food. Open Bar? There is a
$17m paid to a failing airport at extra cost to taxpayers for no legitimate reason......
Show the proof.. Fake news
Demand all documentation from USTRANSCOM, AMC and TACC regarding how this mission itinerary was built! I was a senior officer on staff there. The paperwork exists.
RepKinzinger IndivisibleIL16 trump drops Taliban meeting to distract from this report. This should not happen. More $$ for fuel n lodging
SO WHAT... is this world news headlines?
I'm sure there were plenty of vacancies. Hope no one got bit by bedbugs. Such a corrupt administration.....
$250/night priceline
Was it at perdiem rate?
So what 🤷♀️
