Robbing Peter, Paul and the American people to pay...himself.

A new report found that Trump has been directing the Pentagon to spend money at his failing golf club in Scotland.

Politico reported:
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.

And this is why his unwillingness to show his tax returns matters. It’s just indicative of his corruption and would probably show proof of his financial conflicts of interest. And it’s why his refusal to divest his business interests when he became president was a red flag. Candidates have done this in the past to prevent even the appearance of malfeasance. Trump obviously doesn’t care if it’s fact, and his supporters are also so corrupt and dishonest that they’re willing to accept it without question.

I just a claim on the news that Trump Turnberry was the cheapest hotel near to Prestwick airport, so I thought I'd do a quck search.
