Would you be surprised if that was an actual Trump quote?
His attacks on Powell are almost as frequent as those on Sessions were.
Air Force crew made an odd stop on a routine trip: Trump’s Scottish resort
Now the layover is part of a broader House inquiry into military spending at and around the Trump property.
The inquiry is part of a broader, previously unreported probe into U.S. military expenditures at and around the Trump property in Scotland. According to a letterthe panel sent to the Pentagon in June, the military has spent $11 million on fuel at the Prestwick Airport — the closest airport to Trump Turnberry — since October 2017, fuel that would be cheaper if purchased at a U.S. military base. The letter also cites a Guardian report that the airport provided cut-rate rooms and free rounds of golf at Turnberry for U.S. military members.
Taken together, the incidents raise the possibility that the military has helped keep Trump’s Turnberry resort afloat — the property lost $4.5 million in 2017, but revenue went up $3 million in 2018.
In early Spring of this year, an Air National Guard crew made a routine trip from the U.S. to Kuwait to deliver supplies. What wasn’t routine was where the crew stopped along the way: President Donald Trump’s Turnberry resort, about 50 miles outside Glasgow, Scotland. Since April, the House Oversight Committee has been investigating why the crew on the C-17 military transport plane made the unusual stay — both en route to the Middle East and on the way back — at the luxury waterside resort, according to several people familiar with the incident. But they have yet to receive any answers from the Pentagon.Air Force crew made an odd stop on a routine trip: Trump’s Scottish resort

It wouldn't surprise you if he's not billing the taxpayer every time he and his entourage stay at Mar a Lago either.

Yes numbnuts, it’s called investigative journalism.
Someone can correct me but technically yes the taxpayer would be billed. Whether trump would waive the fees is debatable but I suspect becuase the club effectively closes while he and his entourage are there.so they would.lose business if they get any to begin with.
I guarantee he is in fact going to all of his clubs and the having them bill him. I think in fact some reporter a while back confirmed this.
It's why the president has places like camp David for getaways. Which Trump has never used
