Trump Criticizes DC Golf Course Ahead of Planned Renovation

President Donald Trump criticized East Potomac Golf Links in Washington, calling the public course “Trash Island” and the worst in the world, and argued its narrow fairways make it dangerous. The course is slated for a major renovation backed by his administration and announced by the National Links Trust; Trump says it could become a championship-level venue and offer discounted play to local residents. The project faces a legal challenge: Judge Ana Reyes has temporarily halted further tree cutting and said she would formally examine whether administration lawyers crossed ethical boundaries in the dispute. The course is expected to be redesigned by Tom Fazio.
