blah blah Hanity bulshit trump bulshit
TLDR Trump saved the day by sending some of his planes to give stranded troops a ride home .....Except.
This supposedly happened in 1991
When Corporal Ryan Stickney and 200 of his fellow Marines prepared to return to their families after Operation Desert Storm in 1991, a logistics error forced them to turn to a surprising source for a ride home: Donald J. Trump.
What a touching tribute to our troops! rah rah!
The Trump campaign has confirmed to Hannity.com that Mr. Trump did indeed send his plane to make two trips from North Carolina to Miami, Florida to transport over 200 Gulf War Marines back home. No further details were provided.
And Trumps campaign confirmed it happened! Really really!
Oops!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Shuttle
Trump Shuttle never turned a profit. The high debt load incurred in the company's formation unnerved Trump's creditors as his other high profile, highly leveraged interests failed. In September 1990 the loans were defaulted and ownership of the airline passed to its creditor banks, led by Citicorp. With airline share prices depressed by the recession and anticipation of the Gulf War, they were unable to sell the operation at a desired price despite lengthy negotiations first with Northwest Airlines, then American Airlines and US Air Group.
Took me two minutes to figure out this story was bullshit. Google is your friend Sean. Sucker!
