government bought it in 2013 for one pound, but the airport has continued to lose money in the years since. in june, the scottish government announced its intent to sell the airport. which the panels letter described as integral to the success of the turnberry property 30 miles away. the military has helped keep donald trump turnberry property afloat. the property lost $4.5 million in 2017. but in 2018, revenue went up by $3 million. i mean, this is just i mean, the implication in this brand new reporting tonight from politico is that trump s got this money-losing resort in florida to which he now wants to direct the g7. he s got this money-losing golf resort in ireland to which he has already directed vice president pence and his entourage not only himself and his own entourage on his own previous trip to ireland, but
elijah cummings. jerry nadler raised what could be an even more troubling outcome for the president. he said his committee was considering potential violations of the ban on profiting from the presidency as part of its impeachment investigation. quote, potential violations of the foreign and domestic emoluments clauses of the constitution are of grave concern to the committee as it considers whether to recommend articles of impeachment. so the president say in the last week, was it a week ago, right, a week or so ago that when the u.s. hosts the g7 summit next year, he wants that g7 summit to be held at his own trump property in florida so foreign governments would be forced to pay money to the president and his family in order to participate in official diplomatic engagements with the u.s. government. there s that. there s also the vice president diverting his official business by hundreds of miles to make sure the taxpayer money expended on his trip would go into the president s own
happened back to back within the course of a week. this is the kind counts as an impeachment offense, right? but i think an underappreciated part of this is that this is also kind of a cash for clunkers program. because that dural place where the president is trying to make the u.s. government put the g7 summit, that is a property that used to be the president s largest source of revenue in his whole business world and that property is now tanking. quote, trump has listed dural in federal disclosures as his biggest moneymaker but hotel room, golf and overall revenue are now down. in two years the net operating income fell by 69%. in a vigorous economy, the property was missing the trump organizations internal business targets. the company s own tax consultant telling county officials that the dural resort is, quote, severely underperforming other resorts in the area. quote, there is some negative
