The removal of hundreds of trees comes as part of Trump’s plan to turn the course into a world-class golf venue. National Park Service said in a statement that the removed trees ‘do not contribute to the historic landscape’ at the course.

We have a dictator in charge. He thinks he owns everything. He should be working for us.
If Trump is so rich then why cant he build his own award winning golf course and leave these trees alone.
Trump destroys anything beautiful. They are also killing herds of wild horses. Sick man.
TACO 45/47 = Karma Is Coming, IMO!!
You'll note no judge is reversing Ilhan Omar…
Trump can only destroy things, demolish things break things.
May the spirits of the trees who died this weekend haunt the one who ordered this and those who helped him in actions. 😢😓😭😡
America has always been a hierarchy than a system. Trump made more so and more evident. What a joke.
No respect for life. The billionaires have their underground cittiies. They couldn't vare less about our earth.
Seriously how many people still play golf vs go out in nature to do things like watch birds or just sit under a healthy old tree.
The man is a monster in each and every way
If this is what the UK talks about, then the UK is doomed.
Cutting down these trees is horrific! Pathetic 😠
Trump?.. is just…
Washington should depollute the Golf Course and convert it into woodland. It would be much better to have trails for walkers and runners than land being wasted for a minority sport.
The thumbnail is one of many photos that perfectly capture this disaster criminal government
He destroys everything.
may the souls of these trees haunt him till his next life
I might have to rethink being a trumper, cutting down trees shame on you, they are a living thing you know!! This is just a horrible act from the Trump administration!
Mr Trump I supported you and now you stabbed me and every American in the back just to build your ego and provide a golf course for the ultra rich. I am furious and totally disgusted with you
Disgusting!!!
This is obviously a case of chop down as many trees as we can before we get called out. Similar to the White house demolition. Trump and his boot licker zombie appeasers have a lot to answer for. Disgusting!
Trump just does whatever he wants, then the judges tell him to stop, then he keeps doing it anyway. The federal government and the judicial system are a joke. Basically we have a king/dictator who decides everything. What they told us about the American government in history books were all lies that Trump has exposed.
The fact that 500 trees were felled like in a day is absolutely mind boggling….what a waste, how sad.
