The National Links Trust saved three Washington D.C. golf courses from ruin. Then Donald Trump got involved. A story about power, whether people have any claim to the places they've spent their lives, and a president's war on public golf https://t.co/WB08TEacBW
Trump is literally just suing his own government so he can pay himself off with taxpayer money. I don’t think there has ever been anything more corrupt in all the annals of US history.

This hasn't resonated yet outside golf, but what this administration is essentially doing is taking over a national park for invented reasons so that the Trump Organization can run it and profit from it. Imagine if Yellowstone suddenly cost $1,000 but mostly served lobbyists.
We are devastated to report that the Trump administration is officially terminating our 50-year lease with the National Park Service to manage and renovate the three courses. The termination is effective immediately.

As a DMV resident I cannot overstate how much this sucks. The NLT was a tangible investment in public, accessible golf for all ages and levels across our diverse district.
🚨The U.S. government does not want you to know that it sent innocent people to be tortured through a program that the Supreme Court unanimously ruled violated due process.
Innocent men were humiliated, beaten, starved, and raped. We sent them there. We paid for their detention.
How far would Tiger Woods have hit it if he had today’s technology during the “Tiger Slam.” We have your answer — and it’s staggering.
Also, trigger warning for the rollback crowd. 😬 https://t.co/DPsWcyTTqg
Tom Fazio scheming “improvements” to a Walter Travis design while a pile of asbestos covers an adjacent William Flynn layout is about as 2025 as 2025 could be.
