trump s golf resort in scotland and refuelling at the commercial airport there. is this something that just sounds crazy but kind of happens? is this a normal thing? no, not at all, rachel. this is totally unheard of. i mean, the reason we have these military installations in western europe, in ramstein, in germany as you referenced, in roma spain, and italy, is so there will be a logistics hub for u.s. military operations in europe and the european theater in north africa and the middle east, so whenever we re flying aircraft all the way over to kuwait, or to support our troops operating in the gulf, for example, we stop routinely in those western european military bases. there s absolutely no reason to stop at a trump hotel or an airport, a struggling airport near a trump hotel and i have to say, rachel, i find this highly unusual because in the pentagon you can t go 30 feet without an ethics lawyer following you. everything is written down. everything is by regulation.
