A PUBLIC GOLF COURSE THAT'S BEEN OPEN SINCE 1919 IS BEING QUIETLY HANDED TO DONALD TRUMP 150 trees are already gone. Chainsawed down before Congress even got a phone call East Potomac Golf Links. Open to the public for over a century. Now the National Park Service is doing renovation work in total silence while Trump's own company builds golf courses for a living Nearly 400,000 taxpayer dollars just went to a Massachusetts firm for "compliance work." That's just the appetizer The real number is 49 million dollars. A construction contract already posted, already projected, timed for early 2027 so it clears before anyone can stop it Here's the setup nobody's supposed to notice. Interior yanked a 50-year lease from the nonprofit that ran DC's public courses, claiming they didn't make "capital improvements." Convenient excuse to clear the board Now that same land sits open for Trump to reshape into exactly the kind of gilded private club his company has stamped across three continents A congressman already called it what it is. Stealing a public park in broad daylight No public announcement. No hearing. No vote. Just bulldozers, a Massachusetts contractor, and a 49 million dollar number sitting quietly on a government website Ordinary families lose a public course their grandparents played on. Trump potentially gains prime federal land two miles from his own DC hotel This isn't policy. This is a man using the machinery of the federal government to landscape his own empire They didn't ask permission. They didn't need to. Trump doesn't do permission This is only the beginning
