Trump plan will destroy DC's 'oldest grove of cherry trees' for golf practice: report

A new Washington Post report says President Donald Trump's golf course redevelopment plan would destroy "Washington's oldest grove of cherry trees," the sole survivors of Japan's original 1910 gift to America.

Photos from Trump's Sunday tour of East Potomac Golf Links showed plans far larger than the government had publicly admitted, the Post said.

The trees — planted in 1910 and more than twice the species' expected maximum age — sit on an area that the plans would raze for a practice facility.

TEMPORARY RESIDENT!

2. I am not sure what's going to be left of White House and surrounding areas

after he does whatever he is planning on doing.

[Bettie]

7. I expect that he already has a crew set up

to tear down the entire white house the day before he's to leave office.

After, of course, stealing anything of value from the place.

Someone tell me he can't do that...but, a few things have been stalled, but most of what he wants happens.

9. That's very interesting and well done. Is it AI derived? It doesn't look it.

It captures His Most Execrable Pig King's Grotesqueness. A body comprising: a burial suit, broken bits of cinder block, rancid oil, and miscellaneous sausage parts. All that's missing are the flies - but that might be too on the nose. My only criticism - and it's a modest one - is that the model was insufficiently corpulent.

From DesignMantic in 2017:

#GivingTuesday Roundup: 20 Artists Portray Their Take On The Trump’s Atrocious Regime!

Excerpt…

This powerful illustration is part of a bigger project for the British artist, James Ostrer, titled “The Ego System,” which is a collection of “honesty portraits” of celebrities. While his entire collection is imposing, it was his Trump portrait, fabricated from an unmistakably Trumpian wig, sheep’s eyeballs, and a pig’s snout that attracted international attention when it made an appearance in March at the Hong Kong Art Central fair. The portrait is a visual depiction of the megalomania that has soared up to the point where Trump’s constant need to be in the limelight is overriding any kind of care for anyone else or room for relationships in his life.

22. Gotcha. I realized it was just too good to be AI.

Damn, a picture is indeed worth a thousand words. I'll check out Ostrer.

4. There is no bottom...

... to his cesspool of malice and greed.
Are there no laws restricting what he's allowed to destroy? IT'S NOT HIS FUCKING PROPERTY!

[popsdenver]

20. Hey everyone

IT'S NOT "TRUMP" per se.....it is the entire Republican Party, Republicans in the U.S. Senate, Republicans in the U.S. House and Republicans in the U.S. Supreme Court who are backing him 100%, THAT ARE ALLOWING HIM TO DO THEIR DIRTY WORK SINCE 2016.......
The Republicans are setting Trump up to take the blame for EVERYTHING, and walk away using him as a scapegoat, then put some one else into office to just keep on, keeping on with all their shit.......

WE NEED TO START SAYING "THE REPUBLICANS" DID THIS OR THAT, BECAUSE THAT IS TRULY WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE...

[GiqueCee]

23. There's no question...

... that they're letting him get away with murder – in some cases, quite literally, I suspect – but you can bet this was his idea. The evil bastard probably isn't practicing golf, he's practicing cheating.

[popsdenver]

28. And in the shadows

using smoke and mirrors, the REAL 2025 work is being done, using Trump as a daily/hourly distraction......in turn they allow Trump and other Republican Uber Wealthy and Republican Politcians to grift away......

[FalloutShelter]

27. 100 percent correct.

From your local GOP committeeman to the Vice President... every GOP office holder... every Judge...every appointee of this regime is
A-OKAY WITH ALL OF THIS.

REPUBLICANS AND THEIR MAGA DEATH CULT DID THIS.

[KS Toronado]

5. Did you mean to say "How do I hate him, let me count the Cherries"

[babylonsister]

6. Hello there! I hope

you're feeling well!

[KS Toronado]

16. Wish all these chemo side effects would go away!

At least I'm still kicking.

[popsdenver]

18. Hey KS

Just hope the Chemo works........and if it does, count yourself blessed............

Some times, you get Chemo and have all the somewhat horrific side effects, and then you learn that the Chemo didn't work.........

I am sure that all of us here are pulling for you 100%, and hope that you stop the cancer in it's tracks......

8. Those Cherry trees are beautiful and are part of the history of Washington DC

I love walking through those trees when I visited DC

[electric_blue68]

30. If I didn't believe in the the Law of Threefold Return (should be self-explanatory, don't ask)

I'd try casting a powerful curse on him. The worsr. However, the best I can do I glare in the direction of the White hose and mutter darkly, "Die already." There must be a lot of people dooing that because he looks like he's miserable and dying on the vine.

[barbtries]

12. that fucking motherfucker.

[Jilly_in_VA]

31. That asshole is beneath contempt

[yellow dahlia]

36. Ugh!

[Vinca]

14. What a total fucking asshole. Congress has got to stop this somehow.

[ChicagoTeamster]

15. That is Trump's plan. To destroy everything and put his ugly mark on it and make it Gaudy (or Trumpy)

[FakeNoose]

17. Somebody needs to sue him to stop this

Maybe an environmental group such as the Sierra Club? I don't know. Or maybe the DAR if they're still around?
This has to be stopped.

He can play golf anywhere. Literally.... ANYWHERE!

Tell Chump he's such a good golfer, he doesn't need to "practice."

19. The reason shitstain has fencing, National Guard patrols, cause it would be dead withou all those obstacles

[Dawson Leery]

21. "Me! Me! Me!"

[Nanjeanne]

25. So frickin sick of his shit.

[Prairie Gates]

26. Imagine being a MAGA who thinks this sort of behavior is "Owning the Libs" or whatever

Good Lord.

[bif]

29. Does ANYONE ever say "No" to the rapist?
