Meanwhile Trump has just done a scorched earth move on a DC public park that he wants to turn into a golf course. He violated a judge’s order in doing so.
The superintendent of the National Mall and Memorial Parks, a unit of the National Park Service, was ordered to testify under oath in U.S. District Court in D.C. on Monday after a federal judge ordered a stop to all tree cutting at East Potomac Golf Course until at least Tuesday morning, days after the NPS began a new round of tree removals at the historic golf course.
U.S. District Court Judge Ana Reyes ordered NMMP Superintendent Kevin Griess to testify about the removal of 430 trees Saturday, including who ordered the removal and when he received the order.
430 trees. In a public park. Because pigman wants yet another golf course.
“I am thoroughly unamused right now. I do not know how I could have made it any plainer that I did not want what was to happen to happen. I have given the government every single benefit of the doubt, that it would not do precisely what it has done,” Judge Reyes said at the start of the hearing Monday morning. “Every single time, I have given the government the benefit of the doubt, and every single time I made absolutely clear that I wanted notice.”
She shared that the administration only gave the court and the plaintiffs 12 hours notice of the tree cutting on Friday, while the federal government’s legal defense, the U.S. Department of Justice, learned of the tree cutting on Thursday, Oct. 8.
“The amount of benefit of the doubt that I have given the government, no one could have thought or overlooked the fact that the plaintiffs should have gotten notice immediately,” Reyes said, adding that she’s “furious” that government went against its promises to the court.
The tree removals come as Trump has moved to turn the course into a world-class golf venue as part of his grand vision for D.C.
We don’t want his god damn grand vision for DC or anything else. His grand visions are the vulgar trashy gold-plated visions of a man like donaldtrump.
