President Donald Trump is vowing to completely overhaul “an old and run down” golf course on federal land in Washington, D.C., transforming it into “one of the Greatest Golf Courses anywhere in the World.”
In a lengthy post on Truth Social, the commander in chief explained how he just returned Sunday from a tour of various statues, monuments and fountains in the nation’s capital.
“Most importantly on today’s visit, however, was the Secretary of the Interior [Doug Burgum], and his people, together with me and my staff, studying the dilapidated, worn out, and very dangerous and outdated Golf Course known as East Potomac Golf Links,” Trump said.
“Tom Fazio, the Great Golf Course Architect, and his son, Gavin, participated on the tour with us, whereupon it was determined that, on this fantastic site, with water and unparalleled views of D.C.’s Monuments, we will build one of the Greatest Golf Courses anywhere in the World which, importantly, will also be made available to the Public.

“When completed, this Course will have the ability to host Major Golf Tournaments, including The U.S. Open, The Ryder Cup, The PGA Championship, and other top PGA Tour events. Many of the trees are badly damaged from years of neglect, putting people in great danger from falling branches, and the trees falling themselves.
“Additionally, the sprinkler system is gone, there is no filtration, and the remaining sprinklers are incapable of even doing 10% of what is needed. The grass is largely dead, the greens are virtually unplayable, and the Course is in very poor general condition but, after many years of horrendous maintenance, and little money devoted to the process of upkeep, we have determined that this location can bring tremendous success and prestige back to Washington, D.C., along with what we have already done with respect to the lowest Crime Numbers in many years, and the fixing of 73 of our most important Statues, Monuments, and Fountains. The Course is virtually unplayable!
“Work on the new Course, which will go quickly, will begin on September 1st. Tom Fazio will be the Course Architect. It will be built through the Department of the Interior, and designed to the Highest Standards of Golf, but also in such a way that the General Public will love it.”
Trump also addressed repairs to the Lincoln Reflecting Pool, indicating it “is now in full use after suffering great damage from Criminal, Radical Left Vandals, people that truly hate our Country.
“They cut the lower surface of a very expensive and strong waterproof padding, in the color of American Flag Blue, and put their hands underneath the surface, and ripped it. Likewise, they cut and butchered a 350 foot long strip, with many 1 and 2 foot individual cuts, creating great damage to this beautiful piece of art that was, last week, 100% free of leaks, and any of the other problems it has had since its building in 1922.
🚨 NOW: President Trump announces that the left’s CRIMINALLY-caused algae has been REMOVED from the Lincoln Reflecting Pool
Now EVEN MORE damage has to be repaired at our monuments.
PRISON!

“It never worked properly until last week and, right after July 4th, when we will drain the water to treat the damage caused by these ‘animals,’ it will again be in perfect shape. In the meantime, it is working well, the criminally made algae is gone, and the grass, which was destroyed, is being replaced shortly.”

What kind of stupid battle are these people fighting?
