1) Trump bought Turnberry golf resort in Scotland in 2014 for $60 mn, spent $150 mn to renovate - part of an all-cash spending spree that is not consistent with Trump's visible resources.
2) Turnberry has consistently lost money. Trump's other golf resort in Scotland has lost even more, $6.2 million in losses for the two in 2017.
3) Turnberry is almost a 90 minute drive from the region's main airport, Glasgow International. The most convenient way to reach this troubled, under-performing golf course by air is via Prestwick airport, SW of Glasgow, 34 miles from Turnberry.
4) But Prestwick Airport of course is also in desperate trouble. It nearly closed in 2013. The Scottish government took responsibility. Airport went back on market last year; looking for a buyer despite 7.6 million in losses for year ending March 2018.
5) Sometime in 2017, US Air Force planes began landing at Prestwick to refuel. A lot. They bought $11 million of fuel. Prestwick's passenger business loses money massively, so servicing the USAF helps the bottom line -and makes the airport more attractive to prospective buyers
6) As @NatashaBertrand reports: there is no paperwork available at all as to why the USAF is making these refueling decisions. Nor will DoD answer questions about the decision. Maybe there are excellent reasons; if so, nobody is stating them.
7) Meanwhile at least one US Aircrew has been lodged at taxpayer expense at the Trump Turnberry, despite hundreds of less expensive alternatives closer to Prestwick - and despite a less expensive very pleasant-looking hotel literally across the road from Turnberry
8) Again, maybe there are sound explanations for all of this. Yet Trump administration seems bashful about sharing those explanations with public. And of course - none of this was voluntarily disclosed by Trump Organization.
9) Just one more example of reporters engaging in that behavior so offensive to Eric Trump: asking questions. Thanks Natasha.

And there’s always a tweet

“Donald Trump pledges to make Prestwick Airport 'really successful'”

I love it, because it bugs the sh*t out of you and the plus is you get to use all the childish insults you have been using over and over.

Psychology Today has you pegged.

People with narcissistic tendencies tend to be particularly likely to hurl an insult your way so that they can feel better about themselves. However, in other cases, insults come from people who just don't like anyone different than they are (ingroup-outgroup bias) or just lack something better to say or do.

turns out the Air Force began refueling there during the obama years...this has nothing to do with trump

care to retract?

Got Stripers 09-14-2019 07:10 AM

Not sure if all the details are out and it wouldn’t be the first time Fox News has had the presidents back, so no I’d be waiting to see what the oversight committee review uncovers before I’d recant anything. Could be an agreement with multiple potential airfields is standard procedure to account for contingencies of need or weather. Regardless why pay a premium for gas at at small commercial out of the way airport when you don’t have to?

It appears Fox news is the one running the counter narrative, that's why I suggested I'd wait until all the facts are out.

didn't see it on fox, don't watch fox, never have...you jumped to conclusions..... and you didn't "wait till all the facts were out" to attack trump for supposedly profiteering from the military...

Until all the facts are out how do you know he isn’t?

Very hard to decipher when blurted out with no punctuation. Is it rhetorical?

Why did Justice Kennedy retire so abruptly? What role did his son at Deutsche Bank play? Who paid off Brett Kavanaugh’s $92,000 country club fees plus his $200,000 credit card debt plus his $1.2 million mortgage, and purchased themselves a SCOTUS seat?
