Questions about military stops at Trump's Scottish resort grow louder

.MaddowBlog: Questions about military stops at Pres. Trump’s Scottish resort grow louder.

Toward the end of last night’s Democratic presidential primary debate, Pete Buttigieg reminded the audience that Americans currently have a president “who seems to treat troops as props, or worse, tools for his own enrichment.

The U.S. Air Force has lodged crews at President Donald Trump’s Scotland resort up to 40 times since 2015, a figure that is far higher than previously known. While this advances the story, there are some elements to this that we do not yet know. For example, we learned this week that some of the U.S. military stops at the Prestwick Airport – about 20 miles away from Trump’s struggling business – predated the Republican’s presidency. That didn’t negate the burgeoning controversy, since the flights to the airport Trump is eager to prop up went up considerably after he took office, but it’s a relevant detail.

But if all or nearly all of the visits occurred after Trump became president – or if the total jumped from one administration to the next – we’re right back where we started, wondering about a possible scheme to put money in the sitting president’s pocket, while bolstering an airport the president’s business needs to survive.
