What nonsense. IñThe only thing endangered by this golf course is Trump’s pathetic ego.
Trump tonight adds a new reason he must renovate the golf course "immediately," one that DOJ didn't mention in months of litigation:
"Narrow fairways ... leading to a constant barrage of people being hit with wayward shots." truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT…

One of the saddest facts about the East Potomac situation is that it was being renovated - Trump’s problem is that it wasn’t being renovated by himself.
The National Links Trust was raising private contributions, making much needed repairs, and had a world class golf architect lined up to do the upgrades for free.
Those plans preserved the historic character, maintained affordability, and protected public access to the rest of the park.
Would trees have come down? Yes. Would land be moved? Yes
Would there be the uproar there is now? Absolutely not.
If Trump had really cared about the people this impacted he would have worked with the NLT to expedite their plan. But he didn’t. And he doesn’t.
This is not about giving the people a world class public course. It’s about giving himself a 17th.

Hey, Truckers! -- Remember when diesel was so cheap under President Biden that you would caravan to DC,... waving your stupid Trump banners?
How's that working out for you? 😛
Trucking bankruptcies mount,... as Trump's war forces drivers to take dire measures
Well over a dozen small trucking operators filed for bankruptcy over the past month amid soaring diesel prices.

This 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.

TRUMP‘S PLAN IS DIABOLICAL & SELFISH
Trump is coming for the historic East Potomac Golf Links
The public golf course was created over a century ago to make golf accessible to ordinary Americans who couldn’t afford private country clubs. It was built to open doors, not keep people out.
He wants to turn it into a championship-level course, threatening the very mission it was created to serve.
📌 Public recreational spaces could disappear, including a historic miniature golf course and surrounding parkland.
📌 Ordinary Americans could be priced out of a course that’s been affordable for generations.
📌 And who’s paying for all this? The total cost, funding arrangements, and future management remain unanswered.
Trump promises it will remain public. But PUBLIC doesn’t mean AFFORDABLE.
She should know — she’s a lawyer!
Katie Zacharia cannot defend Trump's investigation of Rep. Ilhan Omar at all:
"That is a Department of Justice issue..."
"I defer to the Department of Justice on that"
"I think I'm just going to continue deferring to our Attorney General Todd Blanche and the Department of Justice"
"Well, again, I- this is a Department of Justice ongoing investigation"
"The Department of Justice is looking into it."

Paxton’s internals must be terrible
Trump goes off on John Cornyn for not supporting Ken Paxton in the #TXSEN general election
“If Ken Paxton loses, it will be because of WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Political Hacks like John Cornyn and Karl Rove”

How does democracy function when one person can donate $150 million for 1 Senate race? In a state where one of his companies has major facilities?

BREAKING WaPo:
Trump officials scrutinized Rep. Ilhan Omar in 2019. They didn't find citizenship issues.
The earlier review of Omar's immigration records looked at many of the same issues being investigated now. washingtonpost.com/national-…
It is not clear why this tree survived Trump's axes on the East Potomac Golf Course. Perhaps Natalie Harp is fond of elm trees.

Allowing Russian diesel fuel to be sold freely in global markets, including in the United States, weakens American security interests and helps fund Putin’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
Today, I joined 11 of my Senate colleagues in a bipartisan letter to @POTUS urging him to rescind this deal with Putin. We must maintain economic pressure to keep our negotiating position strong and protect vital U.S. national security interests.

🚨 WOW: Trump’s new press secretary Katie Zacharia's debut was such a disaster that White House insiders are ALREADY invoking Anthony Scaramucci.
And that’s not even the most embarrassing part of what happened. meidasnews.com/news/trumps-n…

I challenged Ken Paxton to a debate 85 days ago, but no one has heard from him.
People are getting worried.
I’ve received credible reports he's suffering from a rare condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice.
@KenPaxtonTX: I am asking for proof of ability to debate.
