Maddow's Hot Story on Trump-Dealing Military 'Markups' Fell Apart
By Tim Graham | September 15, 2019 6:56 AM EDT
Rachel Maddow touted another Trump scandal on September 6, that the Air Force was putting "taxpayer money directly into the president's pocket" by using Glasgow Prestwick Airport near his Turnberry resort in Scotland. These were the "facts" she presented:
MADDOW: But now, in addition he's got this money-losing goal resort in Scotland that was about to lose the money-losing airport that serviced it. I mean, the golf course is already having really tough times. If they lose the nearest airport, too?
But now miraculously, now that Donald Trump is president, American military cargo planes have started refueling at that airport, at a significant price markup Right? It's much cheaper for them to get their fuel at military bases. That's part of the reason they always stop at military bases.
