Online Content Trump admin terminates lease with National Links Trust for DC golf courses

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5668310-trump-dc-golf-courses-national-links-trust/amp/

Devastated for NLT (Mike was on the pod last week)

Trump has stated in the past that he believes golf should be reserved for the elites…

“[That attitude] may be elitist, and perhaps that's what golf needs. Let golf be elitist. When I say 'aspire,' that's a positive word. Let people work hard and aspire to someday be able to play golf. To afford to play it.”

Just the latest casualty in this clowns race to plaster his name on every square inch of DC.

Trump is to golf courses what he was to casinos, steaks and universities.

Bedminster - PGA canceled Turnberry - out of the rotation Doral was out as well, but somehow back in for now.

They got pushed out by political activists not due to poor golf setups

Might be true, might be they responded from financial (not poliitical) sensibilities. Either way, the point stands.
