Trump Strikes Back at Judge Over Golf Course Ruling

President Donald Trump said he will blame a federal judge who ruled against him in a case involving a Washington, D.C., golf course if someone “is hurt, or killed, on this very dangerous, dilapidated, and unsightly Golf Course.”
The president took to Truth Social Wednesday night to write a lengthy post against U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes.
On Monday, Reyes blocked the Trump administration from continuing to make any more renovations to East Potomac Park, a municipal course in the nation’s capital.
The president wants to change the course into a premier golf venue.
Reyes’ preliminary injunction was sought by a preservationist organization. It came after the government cut down 430 trees on the course with less than 24 hours’ notice.
Reyes ordered the administration to give 10 days’ notice before making “irreparable modification” to any “forms or features” to the course while the case is active.
Trump wrote on Truth Social about the state of the golf course and Reyes.
The president said Reyes would be held “fully responsible for anybody who is hurt, or killed, on this very dangerous, dilapidated, and unsightly Golf Course.”
“East Potomac Golf Course is highly dangerous, dilapidated, and absolutely disgusting. Below are new photos of the deplorable conditions of the driving range building, including excrement in the stairwell,” Trump wrote. “The gaping holes in the driving range’s “protective” netting are highly hazardous. Golf balls soar through the holes at high speed and hit unsuspecting Golfers—including a White House staffer who was, sadly, hit violently in the chest.”
