Why Did Air Force Crew Stop At President Donald Trump Scottish Resort? | Morning Joe | MSNBC

    1. @Peggy Micsky Just remember something: what Trump is doing, the next Democratic president can do, too. Let that sink in, cupcake. Trump won’t be the president forever.

    2. MSNBC better confirm that Trump is charging the military retail price to use his properties. If it Turns out he allows the military to use this property at a huge discount or for free they are going to be issuing a big retraction. Just like Lawrence Odonnell about Putin co-signing Trump loans, lol.

  1. Trump has gotten his money from crimes all his life (including money laundering for putin). How is anyone surprised that if you give him the keys he uses the USA as his personal piggy bank and robs the USA.

    1. @Maaike R Barry Sutton is most likely a Russian troll farmer… there is nothing you can say to educate or influence .. They are paid to post these ridiculous comments.

    1. The Chosen One I’m with you. What’s in a debate for Trump? Not a lot but losing I think. No one can force him to debate.

    2. tRump won’t do debates for just that reason. Someone would ask him a question and he wouldn’t know the answer, so he would just talk about how wonderful he is, and what a great job he is doing, and how all the bad things in the world are the fault of Obama and Hilary. (He really can’t get over them can he?)
      Basically, any debate with tRump would just be a very long, taxpayer funded, tRump infomercial, with tRump talking about himself.

  2. In the military everything is documented. Who ordered the diversion and ask them why. Were they pressed by someone higher up in the food chain. If yes then who..

    1. And will MSNBC issue a retraction if it is found that Trump allows them to use this property for free or at a highly discounted rate as a courtesy to the military. They should really confirm the airforce is paying full retail rates to use this property before running this, I smell a retraction coming…

    2. Didn’t they say they got a free room? Not sure how Trump made out on this. I sure hope you don’t complain when any other aircraft lands at a civilian airport. You better investigate that. The Thunderbirds/Blue Angels land and refuel at civilian airports….you better investigate that…Was there room at an Air Force Base for them to land at…you better investigate that………get real people!!!

    3. Andrew Bellinger I doubt that. The fuel alone costs more at this private airport. And the military has a base close by. They should be required to use that base, not stay at a golf course.

    1. And will MSNBC issue a retraction if it is found that Trump allows them to use this property for free or at a highly discounted rate as a courtesy to the military. They should really confirm the airforce is paying full retail rates to use this property before running this, or it will be another embarrassing story for the main stream media …

    2. @Andrew Bellinger And will the orange orangutan retract his 10,000 plus straight up lies and misleading statements? Not hardly…. half of them will live forever on his Twitler acct. Speaking of money….. https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2017/06/06/how-donald-trump-shifted-kids-cancer-charity-money-into-his-business/ 

      How Donald Trump Shifted Kids-Cancer Charity Money Into His Business

      That’s not the case. In reviewing filings from the Eric Trump Foundation and other charities, it’s clear that the course wasn’t free–that the Trump Organization received payments for its use, part of more than $1.2 million that has no documented recipients past the Trump Organization. Golf charity experts say the listed expenses defy any reasonable cost justification for a one-day golf tournament.

    3. @Idylchatter one persons missteps doesnt exempt the media from having to be accurate and not reporting speculation as truth. What the media and Democrats still fail to see is it was reporting like this that galvanized trump supporters and won him the election in the first place. They are helping him win 2020 right now.

    4. @Idylchatter secondly, if MSNBC were news instead of opinion they would send an investigative journalist there to track down some airmen or get a receipt showing they are paying retail price to stay there. Reporting on a whim with no verification like this is why Lawrence Odonnell just had to publicly apologize for saying Putin/oligarchs co-signed Trump’s loans. MSNBC/CNN have become tabloid journalism, not news.

    1. @V – #45 *has* a *secret* ‘service animal’…a ‘stealth squirrel’, affixed to his otherwise balding pate. 😏

  3. Anyone who doesn’t see anything wrong with this needs to be locked up in the same prison cell with Trump. Trump is basically using our military and our taxpayer dollars to fund his criminal organization. Any other president would have been dragged out of the white house by his feet over something like this.

    1. David J If it’s within the per diem it’s okay. I looked into staying at a trump resort on my last TDY, the room rates were under the lodging cap and it would’ve been perfectly okay to stay there.

    2. @Jelly Belly I had tried to tell a TRUMP can driver this morning about her but of course he didn’t believe especially when I told him what color she was I told him this is gonna be good!!! Lol

    3. Watch when it comes out that Trump allows military to use his properties at a highly discounted rate or for free in some circumstances. MSNBC should really be confirming that they are charging retail rate to the airforce to use this property before they go running this story- I’m starting to smell a retraction here…

  4. Mo’ Money for the Don.
    Makes you worry what else there has been and is being done to funnel tax dollars into trump’s pocket.

    1. but he’s cutting money from necessary safety net programs and can’t wait to steal our Social Security funds that are OURS not Congress’s or his.

    2. A lot of money has gone to build his Ego-Wall. But so far, according to reports, NO new wall has been built, and only about 62 miles of old wall have been replaced. I’m to financial expert, but that wouldn’t cost the $3.6 billion he has taken from the military, or the other money that has been diverted to his wall.
      So where is it all going?

  5. Not surprised trump charities used money from a cancer patient on himself also did the same with veterans in 2016

    1. And will MSNBC issue a retraction if it is found that Trump allows them to use this property for free or at a highly discounted rate as a courtesy to the military? They should really confirm the airforce is paying full retail rates to use this property before running this, or it will be another embarrassing story for the main stream media …

    2. @Andrew Bellinger Come on. Discount rates? WTF are you taking?
      This is the guy that charges the secret service minders golf cart rental so they can follow him around on his many many golf games.
      Do you think he is going to LOWER his rates when the US is paying? He would more likely RAISE the rates.

    3. @Andrew Bellinger After thought…The crew of the aircraft have money to pay for accommodation in a luxury hotel already, but complained that they couldn’t afford to stay in tRumps resort. So do you still think he was giving them ‘mates rates’ or free accommodation?
      So now the question is…Will YOU be retracting your defense of the Con in Chief, who is now shown to be ripping Americans off?
      And if you are a taxpayer, then it’s your money too. How are your hospitals and schools? Short on funding? Well, I can tell you where that funding is going. tRump!

  6. Focused on beating these 10 GOP Senators in 2020:
    Mitch McConnell (KY)
    Susan Collins (ME)
    John Cornyn (TX)
    Joni Ernst (IA)
    Cory Gardner (CO)
    Lindsey Graham (SC)
    Cindy Hyde-Smith (MS)
    Martha McSally (AZ)
    David Perdue (GA)
    Thom Tillis (NC)

    1. Nice list of people that think US tax payer money should be used to keep a failing airport in Scotland afloat .
      Republicans dont want to keep small airports in USA open with tax payer money , but airport in Scotland , for sure it needs millions upon millions of US tax payer money .

    2. I wish Devin Nunez, Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan were on the chopping block too. They’ve been complicit the whole time.

  7. Trump is fleecing America and Americans don’t seem to care. If any other president did this there would be impeachment proceedings. What does Trump have over his people that makes them want to support a treasonous sketchy elected president?

    1. When you drain a swamp, you get rid of the ecosystem, and all is left is all the parasites and animals that feed on the rest ,to scour freely along and killed and feed from whatever they can get their hands on…so he literally drained the swamp ,and all the good things in it are now dead or being killed by this parasites.

    1. It’s about to get *so much worse* for #45…⏳
      *Every* state, *every* bank, *every* insurance company and *every* country that #45’s *lied to* in his filings *ARE* ‘comparing notes’…and *finding* ‘faults’.
      And *soon* #45’s life becomes…a *neverending nightmare* of litigations and losses. 💸📑👋

    2. @Duane Hall I’m not a Trump supporter at all but I’m worried Barry might be right. Look at how many people like him are still out there 3 years later blindly supporting their dear leader no matter how much he continues to be exposed. Better believe the “Barry’s” of this country will be turning out in full force to vote when the time comes. The rest of us cannot become complacent and stay home.

    3. People keep saying that, people keep making video telling us what tRump is doing or has done, and what happens?
      Absolutely NOTHING.
      Teflon Don just keeps getting away with it.

    1. And will MSNBC issue a retraction if it is found that Trump allows them to use this property for free or at a highly discounted rate as a courtesy to the military? They should really confirm the airforce is paying full retail rates to use this property before running this, or it will be another embarrassing story for the main stream media …

    1. Absolutely, and the entire corrupt family and sycophant toadies should be attainted – their assets seized and citizenship stripped away – it’s how you deal with traitors.

    2. Watch when it comes out that Trump allows military to use his properties at a highly discounted rate or for free in some circumstances. MSNBC should really be confirming that they are charging retail rate to the airforce to use this property before they go running this story- I’m starting to smell a retraction here…

  8. While poor people give up meds to buy food, Trump is filling his pockets with US tax dollars. And Trump supporters are still going to vote for this crook.

    1. And will MSNBC issue a retraction if it is found that Trump allows them to use this property for free or at a highly discounted rate as a courtesy to the military? They should really confirm the airforce is paying full retail rates to use this property before running this, or it will be another embarrassing story for the main stream media …

    2. Andrew Bellinger the taxi fare alone from preswick to Turnberry is around $60 one way and the price of food and drink at his resort 2-3 times that of all the other resorts for example a single whisky costs around $18

    3. @Kris Moodley so, if Trumps not profiting from it, it doesnt matter- active duty military travel to many expensive places like Tokyo. Does his property have shuttles that drive people back and forth so they dont have to pay for taxis? We dont know because all there is is speculation in MSNBCs reporting and alot of wishful thinking too… it is widely known that Trump hosts many event at Mara Lago resort where veterans get to stay for free… notice in this story there was zero information about what airforce people are actually paying to stay there… and if Vice president Pence stays at Trumps property in Scotland do you really think Trump is charging Pence to stay there? Did Pence book it on air-bnb? MSNBC’s bias has ruined their credibility, it’s become an anti-trump propaganda network.
