Reports: Trump plans to remove D.C. cherry trees for golf course work

newsJul 2, 202618373

The Washington Post reports President Donald Trump toured East Potomac Golf Links carrying detailed renderings that show a far more extensive redevelopment of the municipal course than federal officials have publicly disclosed. Photographs of the plans show the redesigned course stretching across nearly the entire East Potomac peninsula and extending play to the shoreline while omitting several public amenities shown on maps today, including the riverside bicycle trail, the miniature golf course and Washington’s oldest grove of cherry trees. Hundreds of cherry trees along the peninsula’s perimeter are not included in the drawing carried by Trump, and the plans would raze the White Course, where Japanese cherry trees planted in 1910 currently stand, to incorporate that area into a practice facility. The renderings leave the fate of the city’s oldest grove of cherry trees unclear; the report does not cite any formal approval or written decision confirming tree removal. The photographs were taken during Trump’s visit on Sunday and are the basis for the Post’s reporting that the visible plans appear more sweeping than previously disclosed federal descriptions of the project. Next steps likely include review by local and federal park authorities and potential public scrutiny because the redesign, as depicted, would alter existing parkland and public amenities on the East Potomac peninsula.

This will be challenged in court and he’ll lose like he’s been doing lately, and he’ll die from ill health before it can be appealed to his personal SCOTUS. (I fervently hope)

I have a feeling a court will prevent this. But yes, he's an insane asshole.

Heather Mac2

I feel exactly the same way. Never had such hate for anything or anyone before him.

Trump is proposing to replace one of Washington, D.C.’s oldest groves of cherry trees with a new golf course built on public land using taxpayer dollars. The plan would also eliminate a popular public bike path and picnic areas, reducing green space that residents and visitors have enjoyed for years

The cherry blossoms in Washington, DC, are celebrated during the National Cherry Blossom Festival, which honors the gift of 3,020 cherry trees from Japan in 1912. The most popular viewing location is the Tidal Basin, where visitors can enjoy stunning views of the blossoms alongside iconic memorials.

x.com/iampoliticsg.... Trump wants to cut down Washington DC's oldest grove of cherry trees along the Mall and eliminate the public biking path and picnic areas so he can build a Trump golf course on public land, using public dollars, and taking spaces away from the public. No. Just no, hell no!

Trump has proposed replacing D.C.'s oldest grove of cherry trees along the National Mall with a new golf course. The plan would remove a public biking path and picnic areas, convert public land for the project, and use public funding for its construction, (1/2) open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Trump cares about nothing except himself! Latest greedy plan is to build another golf-course, which would destroy bike paths and cut down tons of cherry trees. Nature stands in his way! We simply must stop him before he destroys everything in sight! 🍃

To clarify, there is this WP article: www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2026/... Trump wants to redevelop a golf course with plans that imply the removal of a swath of Cherry Trees. So not as alarmist as the quoted post, but...

having zero anchor in D.C., djt has no idea that cherry trees are special to D.C. If he did, he probably still wouldn't understand, and may be glad for simply enjoying doing hateful things.
