The plan a DC Council member saw included having the GPS put it up for sale, so Trump could buy it, after all the taxpayer funded improvements - a la the Trump Hotel.

This does not surprise me at all. He is nothing but a conman and a grifter. Whomever the Council person is needs to get this information out. People need to hear this. #FreeDC

He's said it at our little protests down at Hains Point, but few people show up. Certainly no media. DC public golfers show no concern, as though Trump will ever let them play on the improved course! We could use the Kennedy Center protest promoters!🫡

40 trillion in debt, 2 trillion this year alone. Why not spend more to make a golf course only the rich can afford?

Once the bulldozers come in, we're fucked. The plan removes the historic grove of cherry trees and turns 3 gold courses into one. He intends to leave a hole in the swampy ground as his irreversible legacy.

With no authority, no permission, no nothing. And no pushback. He just does shit. The pool, the arch, the Kenney Center, the ballroom/parking garage/second situation room, ...

We can't even get deep south Republicans to admit it's okay to abort a nonviable ectopic pregnancy before it kills the pregnant person. Note: women & girls are people. It's entirely accurate to refer to them as pregnant people when they are pregnant.

This is a gift for Dems. It's such a CLEAR example of Trump favoring rich cronies over regular people... both for taking away a treasured recreation space (goodbye miniature golf!) and ignoring affordability issues. DEMS! Stage events at golf courses, bring golf clubs to events. Make it a thing!!

This is a matter of national security, yessir..... Never mind the inflation, the Iran war debacle, ICE killings, alienatining allies and cosying up to Putin and Kim. Golf courses, yeah baby!

So he’s going to convert a facility where ordinary people could afford to play into an exclusive crook magnet that only rancid grifters like him can play at? Par for the course.

I was just thinking of what is wrong with our country and the only thing that came to mind was we don’t have enough federally owned championship-level golf courses. We should borrow some more money, at rising interest rates of course, to build some.

War on Iran, Palestine, Sudan, Etiopía and Ukraine; tariffs war worldwide; AI doomsday approaching; meales outbrake; energy and housing prices skyrocketing; homelesses... And your priority is o golf course. The worse, irresponsable, corrupt and uncapable US president and GOP Congress ever.

Trump looks for reasons to spend taxpayer money for anything he loves. Ballroom, golf course, heli pad, concrete rose garden without the rose garden, airpane, statute, get the message people??? MAGA CAN YOU READ?
