When the Air Force lodging its crews at a Trump hotel in Scotland is just like the White House lodging Pence at a Trump hotel in Ireland. politico.com/story/2019/09/…
And where did Trump get the money to buy Turnberry, one of two Scottish course he owns, to begin with? bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
“The Scottish government has also drawn attention for considering steering business to Turnberry as part of its courtship of the U.S. military.” bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
“Conflict of interest issues involving the Trump Organization’s golf ventures will remain a problem for the Trump administration. Even if golf isn’t a huge business, it’s a meaningful one for the president.” None of that is lost on foreign govt’s and businesses courting Trump.
Why did Mike Pence stay 125 miles away from Dublin and on an opposite coast when...he could have just stayed in Dublin? bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

From Sharpiegate and Turnberry to Pence, Barr, the Taliban and the botched Afghanistan talks, Trump offered a master class this past week on how a cult of personality and financial conflicts causes good government to decay -- from the top down: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
“This is the first time I’ve felt pressure from above to not say what truly is the forecast,” a NOAA meteorologist told the Post. “It’s hard for me to wrap my head around.”
"The U.S. military has also fallen under the president’s sway, it would appear. Politico reported on Friday night that Democrats are investigating whether Air Force crews have been improperly routed for stays at the president’s money-losing golf resort in Turnberry, Scotland."
