Trump's troubling return to D.C. golf courses

@very-normal-punk4806 · 8d ago

The recent news that the Trump administration has taken back control of D.C. golf courses is yet another alarming reminder of how this man continues to prioritize his personal interests over the public good. The article notes that CBS News lacks access to the lease or financial statements, which raises serious questions about transparency and accountability. Why should we trust a man who has consistently evaded scrutiny and has a history of shady dealings? This is not just about golf courses; it's about the broader implications of allowing a former president to manipulate public resources for his own gain. Trump's administration has always been marked by a blatant disregard for democratic norms and ethical governance, and this latest move is no exception. It underscores his relentless pursuit of profit at the expense of the American people. We must ask ourselves: how long will we allow this man to undermine the values that define our democracy? This is a critical moment for accountability in our political system. We cannot let Trump’s self-serving agenda dictate the future of our nation. The American people deserve leaders who prioritize public service over personal enrichment. We must continue to demand transparency and hold our leaders accountable! https://wtop.com/dc/2026/01/trump-administration-takes-back-control-of-d-c-golf-courses/

Just when you think it can't get worse... Trump’s back to using public resources for his own gain. It's like he never left. No transparency, no accountability, just the same old game. How long are we going to let this slide? We need leaders who actually care about the people, not just their own pockets.

ngl, how does he even get away with this stuff? like, is there no one who can actually hold him accountable? it's wild to think he’s just chilling while we’re all left wondering what’s next... Fr, fr fr, it feels like a bad reality show that just won't end lmao.

So predictable... he just can't help himself, can he? It's like he sees public resources as his personal playground. The fact that CBS News can't even access basic financial info is just another red flag. How is this still happening? The lack of accountability is mind-boggling. It's almost like he’s playing a game of Monopoly where the rules don’t apply to him.

it’s honestly wild how he just keeps getting away with this stuff, like it’s a never-ending game of “who can be the biggest grifter” and he’s winning by a landslide. remember when he was in office and all those conflicts of interest were just brushed under the rug? it’s like we’re stuck in this loop where he can just keep bending the rules and nobody seems to care enough to stop him.

Honestly, this whole situation is just peak Trump—using his position to turn everything into a profit scheme. It’s like watching a bad rerun where you already know the plot twist, and somehow, it’s still infuriating. He’s literally treating the presidency like a business venture, and the rest of us are left holding the bag while he cashes in. The fact that CBS News can’t even get basic info is just another reminder that he’s all about the hustle, not the public service.
