The deal with the USAF was signed BEFORE Donald Trump became president. The negotiations would have been taking place LONG before he even decided to run for the presidency. Prestwick Airport would have certain advantages for the USAF, not the least of which is its relative obscurity compared to Glasgow International Airport. Enemy spies (e.g. from the Democrat Party) would stick out like a sore thumb in Prestwick (population... 14.5, including 3 goats). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CNN article mentions that the airport gave special rates to some groups, including USA military personnel. They also GAVE away complementary tickets to the golf resorts. GAVE AWAY tickets. How does that help the resort ? 'Cause...TRUMP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The value is yet to be determined. But the new deal would involve supplying some 12.4 million gallons of aviation fuel — about 3 million more than the current deal, according to The Scotsman. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airmen get to go to luxury golf course, Trump gets more business, and the tax payer pays for transportation and other amenities. And there’s evidence he ordered it? Hmmm...

Yes - the investigators asked for the paperwork, which could theoretically, have cleared this all up as 'not a issue'. But the paperwork allegedly, was not provided, which leads to more questions than answers and allows, possibly unfounded, conspiracy theories to flourish. so my question is why did the military not simply provide the requested information?

Trump might be better off if he was impeached, then he could perhaps hope that his VP would pardon him. As it stands now, he doesn’t have a prayer if the Democrats win the White House. My guess is, Trump will regret leading the chants “lock her up” when it came to Hillary. The Democratic base will be in no mood to allow a pardon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent0range Posted September 9, 2019 #48 Share Posted September 9, 2019 The deal may have been made before Trump was President, but the number of overnight stays for refueling has increased exponentially. Quote Between 2015 and 2019, AMC Total Force aircraft stopped at Prestwick a total of 936 times (*659 overnight stays), including 95 (*40) in 2015, 145 (*75) in 2016, 180 (*116) in 2017, 257 (*208) in 2018 and 259 (*220) through August 2019," his statement added. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49633936 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
