Just the latest example of Trump’s corruption. Republicans will say nothing and Democrats have been ineffective so there is no reason for Trump to stop using his office to make money. Sad!
Allegations of Gov officials sending business to Trump:

1. Trump to host G7 at his Doral resort
2. Pence stayed at Trump resort 181 miles from Dublin
3. Military planes refueled at Trump Scotland resort
4. Bill Barr to host Xmas party at Trump Hotel
House: Scorch the earth
It sure looks like Trump is using the military, and our tax dollars, to line his own pockets. https://t.co/fW6f3AmmAD

BREAK: THE AIR FORCE has just confirmed to us that seven C-17 crew members stayed at Turnberry in March. Air Force ops & spending in Scotland are still under investigation, a spokesman said, and a response to House Oversight is not immediately forthcoming. https://t.co/kJGD033rTS

Holy cow, US Air Force fuel purchases at Prestwick Airport started in October 2017 and have totaled $17.2 million, not the $11 million previously reported, according to @nytimes https://t.co/ZIHCT5W9nb

PerDiem for Glasgow is $160 per night for lodging and $85 for meals and incedental expenses. There is no way Trump charges that little for rooms and meals. They are literally turning crews upside down & dumping their pockets. Has any checked if they played golf? https://t.co/aHfTaVSGVQ

NYT has now confirmed: DOD personnel have stayed at Trump Turnberry golf resort in Scotland since the surge that started in Oct. 2017 of DOD flights making stopovers there. But it remains unclear if DOD is doing this to benefit Trump Org. Here's our piece. https://t.co/b8fgJjegPS

"I don’t know that voters in Wisconsin and Michigan are going to moved by terms like the emoluments clause, but they will understand that here’s a president who’s wrapped himself in the military and national security looting our military." – @SykesCharlie https://t.co/hnAjalSyBN

This is unreal. And quite telling that despite first becoming aware there were questions about this in April, there isn’t even a whisper of an explanation from the Pentagon or the White House. https://t.co/snGfnYJxUD

In January 2017 I warned America about the danger of Trump refusing to divest his assets. Tonight—as with every night for the past 2.5 years—I wish I was wrong. Trump can't do this alone. So may people have to have been corrupted by him for this to happen! https://t.co/OExkquW6Cc

The Times reported today that Trump Turnberry was giving a discount to the military for staying at the hotel. We have not yet confirmed that, but it could explain why the rates were potentially lower, if true.
