Trump to close East Potomac Golf Links for 15 months amid court fight
But, of course, Convicted Felon Donald Trump is looking for more ways to screw over the American people. How does a new golf course lower the cost of gas and groceries?
Katie Phang398And goodbye public use access for this area if Trump gets his way:
Christian Petersen5The golf course, the data centers, the ballroom, the tariffs, the war, the promotion of AI, the attack on free speech, the attack on voting rights, the dismantling of agencies designed to protect us, the elevation of the oligarchy...all of this and so much more. The breaking point has been reached.
SusanC5He’s not even going to be alive to play on that course. He wants the kickbacks from the corrupt and inept contractors.
MJ 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈5He doesn’t care about Americans if they aren’t filthy rich. It’s the Golden Age to the Epstein class.
deuce6078.bsky.social4And will cost a couple hundred dollars to play 9 holes💩🤮🖕
deb-37.bsky.social4Another disaster waiting to happen
As inflation hits a 4-month high and the Iran war keeps driving up gas prices, Trump unveils his big plan with the midterms two weeks away: a "World Class Championship Golf Course" in D.C. Work starts Nov. 15, closing a public course for about 15 months, he says.
5,000 Epstein Files for Every American Adult103"When the .. course was original built it was famous for no trees." Trump's deep seething hatred of everything about the natural world is really something straight out of the Captain Planet children's cartoon.
Robert Fischoff43We all know that Trump will completely destroy this property and his so-called public golf course will never happen. Instead his cronies will steal as much money as possible and we’ll be left with vast destruction, tree stumps and mud filled craters. Trump is world destroyer.
wudge.bsky.social26Phew, glad he's on it. It's so important for struggling Americans that this gets done, by a person with such impeccable taste too./s
Oeishik 🐸20Another monument in his name. Because nobody else will.
Laughing Jesus18What an out-of-touch sick narcissistic freak Trump is.
Marc DesRuisseaux 🇨🇦18So 400 cut trees is just the beginning of the destruction of this golf course ?? Where’s the judge??
Simon Rosenberg246Hard to get more "let them cake" than this. Wars everywhere, the economy going to shit, the health care system is getting battered, energy/interest rates/inflation soaring and this is what Trump is spending his time on.
Simon Rosenberg224As others have written this golf course is also a large public park w/roads, parking, and bike lanes. It is a top destination for the region's cyclists. My son used to train there. All that will be gone, and the public will lose access unless golfing. No city would ever propose a plan like this.
Kevin Collins61Lots of residents of Washington have "further use" for the public park that Trump intends to destroy, without congressional funding or other authorization. Trump can do whatever he wants with his own golf courses, but this isn't his, it belongs to the public.
The Tennessee Holler 22Endless grift. Trump Could not care less about the plight of regular Americans.
Lisa Lin Doh4We lost so many old growth trees to this already.
veleau-monica.bsky.social3Also most DC foot races ( marathons and half marathons 10 milers etc. )use the 3+ miles of Haynes point to make sure that they hit their course length minimum
Harry👊🇺🇸🔥3This is where his focus is. Not on lowering costs. His precious golf course project.
CC Gene2Who is going to file an Injunction on this?
This post certainly sounds like Trump has no intention of following any court orders restricting him from this type of work at East Potomac Golf Course. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...
lizzielu.bsky.social41another part of DC, intended for the people, ruined and repurposed for the greedy, tasteless, elites
Sarah Burris31And sorry to poor people who used it before you’re no longer welcome.
SILENCE IS NOT GOLDEN (Lisa)23The judges must begin sentencing. Going against court order after court order with no ramifications is doing nothing but allowing this administration to do what it pleases. It is now time to hold these offenders in contempt & lock them up!
Master T Shake20He did not write this
Richard E Frankel20It’s gonna be as awesome as the reflecting pool.
TRay13We need to get ready to arrest Trump and accomplices…
Missing The Point27How does the President of the United States have so much time to devote to renovating a city golf course when he has more important things to do like build a ballroom and construct an arch?
Elliot Blake3The theme of the remaining two years of Trump’s term will be “Stop me.” It’s going to take up all of Congress’s time, and he will commit all sorts of impeachable offenses and crimes to dare them to stop him. It’s all he’ll have left to energize his base as he clings desperately to power.
Matthew3Golf is a fucking plague on the public good
As we approach the crucial midterms, Donald Trump remains laser-focused on the issues most important to financially struggling Americans—golden ballrooms and fancy golf courses. He’s such a smart, relatable man-of-the-people that way.
ljg1234.bsky.social3As a Canadian. I’m fine with this, It keeps him off our back.
squirrels1963.bsky.social2He thinks this will be a great legacy. It will be part of a notorious legacy.
Kevin Wardrop2There was a Poet in the 90s who said once (and I'll paraphrase) People who choose to be enslaved to another person by emotional ties or otherwise often find themselves lavishing gifts upon their "owner" because who wants their "boss" to look bad? No one! There is no way I could quote that shit.
Ashland Forest Dweller2About that golf course . . . bsky.app/profile/vafo...
Christian Petersen1The golf course, the data centers, the ballroom, the tariffs, the war, the promotion of AI, the attack on free speech, the attack on voting rights, the dismantling of agencies designed to protect us, the elevation of the oligarchy...all of this and so much more. The breaking point has been reached.
Michelle Summers1Where is the current map???
Just in case you were worried about tomorrow’s hearing before Judge Reyes in the East Potomac Golf Links case being uninteresting, President Trump has decided to … prove the plaintiffs’ claims about why the trees are being removed?
Eric Columbus53He was even more direct about the trees in his 10:09am post
agulbuf.bsky.social8Maybe if he wanted to focus his life developing golf courses and ballrooms, he should have stayed in real estate instead of government.
David Hart7Yep! Judge Reyes’ entire line of questioning was trying to link the tree demo to the WH. DOI/NPS was VERY consistent and disciplined about the work being consistent with the pre-approved plan, unrelated to WH statements. He just blew all of that up. Any blowback on the folks that testified?
Jim McWilliams5Going to be something very ironic in that Trump’s outright defiance of a clear court order doesn’t come in impoundment or ignoring Congressional subpoenas but is, instead, to build a golf course.
Lea3I truly hope we see the day that he actually faces consequences for his many, many, many crimes
Jaypay3Setting an alarm for the hearing...
Professa Murray11I guess we know why Stan Woodward is trying to get Judge Reyes removed for animus, because she will be holding the government in contempt for trying to White House Ballroom Hains Point, that is: get in and try to get it destroyed before a Democratic Congress is seated.
UPBeachBum4Economy is in the shitter, the GOP is about to get butt whooped in the midterms, his poll numbers are the lowest they've ever been, people very much dislike him and know he doesn't care about their affordability problems. So what does he do? Destroy an accessible golf course for his cronies.
The map posted by Trump this morning versus the blurred image on his desk in Katie Zacharia's post. (The White House responded to questions about whether the blurred image was a map of East Potomac by spewing invective.)
Katie Mack214I know it's not surprising anymore but god I just can't believe that they're prioritizing completely frivolous stuff like this and the ballroom and the pond and not, like, the disastrous war and economy.
#Nov2026 🌊🌊 Vote 4 Democracy 🗳️ - ICE❌36Ah yes - time for another court case Trump continues to waste time & resources for his amusement/distraction machine He is harming our country in so many ways Never forget #Vote 🌊🌊
Thomas Edwards23So the Hains Point picnic area is going to be replaced by a golf green? www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_R...
BillyDee 🇨🇦 (CA)22Interesting to me how Trump obsesses over all these 'great masculine' men with big dicks and tight asses but he still hires people like Stephen Miller and Stephen Cheung....
Andre Wehrle14The only Trump Derangement Syndrome that exists is the delusion that that man is or was ever fit to be President of these United States.
Lpeterp13Even for Trump, a stunning disregard for beauty, for the public good, for anything resembling progress. DC must stop this vandalism of public spaces now.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick1063This design appears to completely eliminate the much-beloved loop road and public park at Hains Point, and cut down the cherry trees which line the road. The park is a public space used by tens of thousands of Washingtonians and heavily visited by tourists. /photos not my own.
Clean Observer150He’s destroying a huge swath of public property, including a golf course used primarily by those new to the game, for this monstrosity that is as garish and gross as it is historic. It’s the Mar-a-Lago face of “restorations.”
U. S. Commission of Dark Arts 🧱🗃️30This is completely different plan from what NPS/DOI outlets have been posting, and would privatize one of the most egalitarian spaces in DC.
We all know that Trump will completely destroy this property and his so-called public golf course will never happen. Instead his cronies will steal as much money as possible and we’ll be left with vast destruction, tree stumps and mud filled craters. Trump is world destroyer.
oregongirl.bsky.social8Just like he destroyed the East Wing for the Epstein Ballroom, and the Reflecting Pool for his own vanity. Both of them just sitting there, in ruins.
Ozma1It’s absolutely nuts how many things he’s destroyed in DC along—the reflecting pool, the White House, the cherry trees, the golf course. He’s like a one man terrorist attack.
12-days in the suit to stop Trump from converting a historic DC golf course, open to all, to a Trump-style championship course. 2 days ago, DOJ attys called Trump's plan "nascent." Today Trump launched his plan & said the existing course closes on 11/15.
Charlie Fillenwarth6When judges don’t hold people accountable for ignoring their orders, it just means they are going to ignore orders even more. Absolute clownshow.
Distracted3I gotta imagine this will make tomorrow's hearing even more interesting.
connie2Trump loves destroying things that people love bc it hurts them he’s always been a sadist —he’s incredibly disordered and sick
