Trump Sparks Outrage with Bizarre Decision to Replace White House Lawn with Giant Golf Course
In a move that has left many in the nation's capital scratching their heads, President Trump announced yesterday that he has decided to replace the iconic White House lawn with a giant golf course. The decision, which was reportedly made without consulting any of his advisors or relevant experts, has been met with widespread criticism and ridicule.
According to sources, the President became enamored with the idea of having a golf course at his disposal after a recent visit to one of his own resorts. Despite the fact that the White House lawn is a historic and culturally significant landmark, Trump reportedly saw no issue with tearing it up to make way for a putting green and driving range.
The plan, which is set to be implemented immediately, calls for the entire lawn to be excavated and replaced with a state-of-the-art golf course, complete with sand traps, water hazards, and a clubhouse. The cost of the project, which is estimated to be in the tens of millions of dollars, will reportedly be footed by taxpayers.
The reaction to the announcement has been swift and merciless, with critics from both sides of the aisle condemning the decision as a reckless and irresponsible use of taxpayer dollars. "This is a ridiculous waste of money and a slap in the face to the American people," said Senator Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York. "The White House lawn is a national treasure, not a playground for the President's golfing buddies."
Even some of Trump's own supporters have expressed dismay at the decision, with one prominent Republican donor telling reporters that the move was "a bridge too far" and that the President needed to "get his priorities straight."
Despite the backlash, the President remains defiant, tweeting earlier today that the golf course would be "the best, the greatest, the most fantastic" and that it would "make America great again, one birdie at a time."
As the nation struggles to come to terms with the latest example of Trump's unorthodox leadership style, one thing is clear: the White House lawn will never be the same again.
The question on everyone's mind now is what's next for the President, and whether this latest debacle will finally be the straw that breaks the camel's back. One thing is for sure, however: with Trump at the helm, the nation can expect plenty more surprises in the days and weeks to come.
