  Trump has ordered that 529 living healthy trees be cut down at East Potomac Park to make way for his new Championship Golf Course that no one wants. They were supposed to pursue all legally required approvals before proceeding with any work on the site which they haven’t.

  "At one point, Justice Department attorney Marissa Ann Piropato told Reyes that government lawyers “did our best” to keep the court apprised of any construction work at the course. “No, you did not do your best,” Reyes responded, her voice rising. “You did your absolute worst.”" https://www. washingtonpost.com/sports/2026…

  At this point the Judges deserve to be treated with contempt and derision. The don't hesitate to throw the poors/minorities in jail for mouthing off at the drop of a hat, but let Diaper Donald and his goons skate time after time.

  BREAKING WaPo: A federal judge just ordered the Trump admin to stop cutting down trees at East Potomac Golf Links after preservationists asserted that more than 500 were felled Saturday and "hundreds more" were slated for removal.

  You’re not mad enough. Healthy mature trees are being cut down at East Potomac Park so that Trump can turn the park into a golf course. The administration is arguing that it's removing trees that do not contribute to the historic landscape -- primarily dead, dying, hazardous

  WaPo: “After 500 more trees fall, judge halts work at D.C. golf course Trump is eyeing Plaintiffs had said “hundreds more” were slated for the ax, and the judge ordered a stop to all tree removal until 7 a.m. Tuesday or until she issues another order.” After 500 more trees fall, jud...

  It's because the system was made with the understanding that the person in power would be there for the people. Clearly new rules need to be established.

  🇺🇸 A federal judge exploded at Trump’s lawyers after 430 trees were cut down at a D.C. golf course. Trump wants to turn the historic public course into a championship course like his own in Scotland and Ireland. The problem is the government only told the court late on a Friday

  BREAKING: Trump administration cut down more than 500 trees on Saturday at the East Potomac Golf Course after giving less than a full-day notice, with more tree-cutting planned, so plaintiffs challenging the effort went to court seeking a TRO tonight. https:// substack.com/@chrisgeidner/not e/c-358799977

  As is often the case, this ruling misses the point; we need to abolish golf.

  WaPo - A “furious” federal judge excoriates the Trump administration for cutting down hundreds of trees at East Potomac Golf Links.

  Preservationists say more than 500 trees came down at East Potomac Golf Links on Saturday, with hundreds more slated, before a federal judge ordered it stopped Monday. Fuckface wants a public course remade, so the chainsaws showed up on a weekend.

  Trump does not like trees. Trump does not like nature. I doubt he's ever set foot in any national park. Everything is a golf course to him. And fucking Republicans are handing all of what is beautiful in this county to him on a platter. Will never forgive Republicans. wtop.com/dc/2026/10/f... Federal judge ‘furious’ over l...

  https:// wtop.com/dc/2026/10/federal-ju dge-halts-additional-tree-cutting-at-east-potomac-golf-links/ Who ordered the removal of 500 trees Saturday? The presidential helicopter hovering over Hains Point (thus closing down DCA) during the destruction gives you a clue.

  I find en masse tree removal to be horrendous. (My religion is Treehugger.) And of course it's being done illegally by the Trump regime. Of course. 🤬 https:// meidasnews.com/news/trump-admi ns-golf-course-scheme-sparks-explosive-courtroom-showdown
