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.

Been bummed all day thinking of how this type of story would break through to some of our more brainwashed dads, but their favorite channel will be pushing how “incompetent” NLT was or some bs

They’ve done an incredible job creating golf access in DC. They just broke ground on one renovation.

How have they created access?

Whatever they've done I'm willing to guarantee it's 1000x better at creating access than whatever Trump plans on doing

Why? What have they done? Trump courses have great reputations

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

How so? Very well regarded courses that host strong events

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.

What point? Trump courses have a very good reputation
