In reply to the discussion: Air Force leaders order probe of Trump resort stays [View all]Here's an imaginative guess...
They stopped to refuel and...
ran into bad weather
Or
Had a technical problem
Or
Had to wait for a fuel delivery
And the hotel was open, within budget, nice and not a policy violation.
Seems like no one but Trump is causing a problem in that case.

The problem is the refueling at a commercial airport when cheaper military airports are available.

Needlessly spending $17M on overpriced fuel IS a scandal. There is no question about that.
