Trump Vows 50% Discount for Locals Amid DC Golf Course Renovation Battle
Trump said Washington-area residents will get half off rates as federal officials defend a closure tied to safety concerns and a lease dispute.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump attacked U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes for blocking his administration's closure of East Potomac Park, a site he dubbed 'Trash Island' scheduled to close Sunday.
- Administration officials argue that deteriorating infrastructure and a failing seawall necessitate closing the nearly 400-acre park immediately, though preservation groups contend these safety concerns mask plans to convert the public space into an exclusive golf club.
- Trump promised Washington-area residents a 50 percent discount on rates at the renovated facility, claiming it would eventually host major tournaments including the PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup.
- Judge Ana Reyes warned she would initiate sanctions within a 'zeptosecond' if evidence emerges that officials destroyed renovation-related documents, while appointing a former federal prosecutor to investigate potential ethics violations by government lawyers.
- Trump's focus on capital construction projects continues as he remains publicly silent on Friday's nationwide Federal Aviation Administration ground stop, which canceled more than 9,000 flights and halted departures for over four hours.
