Trump says work will begin on DC golf course despite judge's warning

President Donald Trump said on Sunday that work will begin Sept. 1 on the public East Potomac Golf Course despite a federal judge's warning of "serious consequences" if the administration begins major work without getting approval and notifying the court in advance.

Trump took a tour of some of the projects he has commissioned or plans to on a rainy Sunday morning.

The president's motorcade swung by Lafayette Park near the White House and around Memorial Circle in front of Arlington National Cemetery, where he plans to build his 250-foot-high triumphal arch, and by the Kennedy Center, to which he had added his name before a judge ordered it removed.

Trump's claim that he's moving forward with the renovations to East Potomac Park follow a lawsuit filed by the nonprofit National Links Trust regarding its lease on D.C. public golf courses. The administration terminated its agreement with National Links Trust in December, saying it hadn't lived up to its agreement on maintenance of the courses, which the National Links Trust disputes.

Yeah... sure.

Like all of the rest of those 'serious consequences' when they thumbed their noses at the courts.

Tsf has pressed the test button on judicial orders over and over again, almost always with no consequences. Maybe this time will be different.
