Um, it's not about the airmen's *FEELINGS*. What happened to Rs being the thinkers and Ds being the feelers? Oh right. Trump happened. Now the Rs aren't thinkers OR feelers.

Globemasters aren’t like flying commercial. They’re slower, wayyyyyy louder inside, and generally are about as comfortable as riding on a wood bench in the back of a moving truck. I’d be thrilled at the prospect of a sauna dip and a comfy bed after 6,000 miles on a C17.

Good for Trump for thinking of those Airmen’s comfort. That’s class.

There are 100+ hotels closer to the airport than Trump's failed property. This is outright theft, and the chain of commaned at the USAF needs to be brought to military justice on this. Shameful at every level.

Regardless of how the aircrew felt about it, the military budget is being used to line Trump's pockets. Just this week, many military projects were cut in order to divert those funds to Trump's wall. Perhaps one or more of those projects could have been saved had not funds been spent unnecessarily to prop up Trump's golf course.

Trumpsters will find a way. The Cult must live on.

So there are 100+ hotels they could’ve kept the crew in instead? That’s what you’re saying? All of which would’ve also required money being spent, in some cases perhaps more money, to put the crew up for the night.

So is your issue here the fact that money was spent to put the crew up in lodging? Or that it was spent at a Trump property? I can’t tell which just by your outrage. For all I know, like most Trump haters, you also hate the military and would tell them to just sleep in the cargo hold for the night. So it’s hard to pin down where your hate is focused.

Did it ever occur to you that maybe the Trump property offered a heavily discounted rate for the crew? Maybe it was cheaper than any similar hotel? Wouldn’t that make good fiscal sense?

Because if the rate was lower and the DoD paid more to stay somewhere else, I suspect you’d be complianing that Trump was being fiscally reckless.

Sorry to hear you failed your Ethics 101 class. But good news is that means you are perfect for a job somewhere in the Trump administration.

Don’t forget the Trump bedbugs!

Also this crap resort was failing until the military started having to stop there, paying more for fuel and outstripping their per firm. This is a crime, and everyone who cares about the law is outraged about this story.

There was no need to go to ANY of those 100+ hotels. They never stopped off at Scotland before. It's out of the way. They normally stay the night at an American air base, which is guaranteed to be cheaper than a Trump hotel.

These are good questions. Do you think that ordinary citizens will be able to get any answers to them?

This is EXACTLY why the president needs to disclose his tax returns AND divest his investments. Maybe this is on the up and up. WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT HASN'T FOLLOWED EITHER WRITTEN OR UNWRITTEN NORMS FOR AVOIDING THE APPEARANCE OF CORRUPTION. This is obvious to everyone except Trump supporters.

Side note: this isn’t a pen emoluments situation. Emoluments are payments from foreign governments— if France was using this resort for example. This is payments from our own government.

That said, this is corrupt AF. And when we finally clean house after Trump, we clearly need strong anti-corruption legislation.

This!

Gosh, so glad to know that Trumpters are fine with taxpayers doublefunding the military AND giving their money to Trump's bank account.

This has to be a troll, or you are seriously stupid.

I wonder if it's coincidence that the resort lost millions only the year before, then made a profit the year the military stayed here.
