It is the new definition of MOU, you do war two days, rest two weeks...
Markets go up, down, stable, huge up, down, stable....
People get sad and angry, hopefull, happy, sad and angry, hopefull, fed up, confused, reaches new depths of despair.... They do not know whether to cry or laugh or to make light of it. They are lost. Trump's name appears more times in any newspaper, anywhere around the world than anyone else's. He loves it! All these pictures! Trump even feautures in most sane people's nightmares, like an orange IT.
He frightens whole countries into paying tariffs, baby!
He is not the greatest man the whole have seen, but by ego's sizes, he could be at the very top. Par with Putin. Only Putin is not insane.

More for the Trump dictionary. But 'intermittent peace agreement' would be more accurate.

RedTagAlan · 29/06/2026 03:01

A long post sorry. Likely long because of HIS walls of text, but this is quite frankly astounding.

Start with his Truth of Sunday, June 28, 2026 7:01 PM

"Janeese Lewis George, the Communist who is almost certainly going to be elected Mayor of Washington, D.C., has stated that she wants to...."

I truncated that. That is the establisher post. The next Mayor of DC is a COMMIE. NB - DC will have a COMMIE mayor. Bit of red scare.

About 15 mins before that, Sunday, June 28, 2026 6:42 PM, he posted this, and it is a wall of text"

I just returned from a tour of various Statues, Monuments, Fountains and, most importantly, an old and run down Golf Course located throughout Washington, D.C., our Nation's Capital. Almost all of the Statues, Monuments, and Fountains have been completely renovated and restored, and are in, after suffering years of Graffiti, Abuse, and Vandalism, perfect shape. They are truly beautiful, even nicer than the day they were built. The Reflecting Pool is now in full use after suffering great damage from Criminal, Radical Left Vandals, people that truly hate our Country. They cut the lower surface of a very expensive and strong waterproof padding, in the color of American Flag Blue, and put their hands underneath the surface, and ripped it. Likewise, they cut and butchered a 350 foot long strip, with many 1 and 2 foot individual cuts, creating great damage to this beautiful piece of art that was, last week, 100% free of leaks, and any of the other problems it has had since its building in 1922. It never worked properly until last week and, right after July 4th, when we will drain the water to treat the damage caused by these "animals," it will again be in perfect shape. In the meantime, it is working well, the criminally made algae is gone, and the grass, which was destroyed, is being replaced shortly. The visit to Lafayette Park, opposite the front entrance of the White House, which is now complete except for a replacement of some of the original pavers, was wonderful. Lafayette Park has not looked so good since its inception in 1820! Most importantly on today's visit, however, was the Secretary of the Interior, and his people, together with me and my staff, studying the dilapidated, worn out, and very dangerous and outdated Golf Course known as East Potomac Golf Links. Tom Fazio, the Great Golf Course Architect, and his son, Gavin, participated on the tour with us, whereupon it was determined that, on this fantastic site, with water and unparalleled views of D.C.'s Monuments, we will build one of the Greatest Golf Courses anywhere in the World which, importantly, will also be made available to the Public. When completed, this Course will have the ability to host Major Golf Tournaments, including The U.S. Open, The Ryder Cup, The PGA Championship, and other top PGA Tour events. Many of the trees are badly damaged from years of neglect, putting people in great danger from falling branches, and the trees falling themselves. Additionally, the sprinkler system is gone, there is no filtration, and the remaining sprinklers are incapable of even doing 10% of what is needed. The grass is largely dead, the greens are virtually unplayable, and the Course is in very poor general condition but, after many years of horrendous maintenance, and little money devoted to the process of upkeep, we have determined that this location can bring tremendous success and prestige back to Washington, D.C., along with what we have already done with respect to the lowest Crime Numbers in many years, and the fixing of 73 of our most important Statues, Monuments, and Fountains. The Course is virtually unplayable! Work on the new Course, which will go quickly, will begin on September 1st. Tom Fazio will be the Course Architect. It will be built through the Department of the Interior, and designed to the Highest Standards of Golf, but also in such a way that the General Public will love it. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

So here is Trump, doing tours of inspection as per Dear Leader of DPRK style.

Cutting through the fluff such as "Criminal, Radical Left Vandals", "caused by these "animals,"" and " criminally made algae", we get to the real reason for the TRUTH.

"Most importantly on today's visit, however, was the Secretary of the Interior, and his people, together with me and my staff, studying the dilapidated, worn out, and very dangerous and outdated Golf Course known as East Potomac Golf Links"

So he wants to take a DC municipal golf course, a facility for the masses ( $40 a round), and take it into his "care", so that " When completed, this Course will have the ability to host Major Golf Tournaments, including The U.S. Open, The Ryder Cup, The PGA Championship, and other top PGA Tour events."

He tries to justify this with " Many of the trees are badly damaged from years of neglect, putting people in great danger from falling branches, and the trees falling themselves."

Ohh, this gem too. "Additionally, the sprinkler system is gone, there is no filtration"

Ahh yes. He learned about water filtration last week with his pool, so he gotta slot that in. Even though irrigation water does not need to be filtered.

He has a crony lined up, who was doing the "inspection tour" with him. "Tom Fazio will be the Course Architect". Except "will be" is somewhat redundant. Because see here - I looked up the golf course. It is already designed.

Controversial D.C. muni renovation comes into focus with design plan (golf.com)

"But in December, the Trump administration terminated the NLT’s lease, citing unpaid payments and the organization’s failure to make capital improvements in a timely fashion. The NLT, in a statement, said it was “in fundamental disagreement with the administration’s characterization of NLT as being in default under the lease.”"

He has been planning this for ages. Taking a publicly owned municipal course (leased to a non profit), and effectively making it his.

Yeah, public owned facilities, that's a COMMIE thing.

Seems to me he posted his golf thing. Then he was reminded of "New DC Mayor incoming", so thought... attack her by TRUTH. Before the lawsuits start.

What a devious c$nt.

Controversial D.C. muni renovation comes into focus with design plan

On Thursday, the future of East Potomac Golf Links in Washington, D.C., became more clear when a Tom Fazio design was revealed.

More on the golf course. I am not a golfer by the way. It gets worse with a bit of gentle looking up on the web.

"There are courses in better shape in the DMV, and there are more challenging designs, but there’s nothing else quite like a loop at East Potomac Golf Links. DC is in the air and history is at your feet. "

So a good bit of history then.

This though.

"The National Links Trust began a 50-year contract in 2020 to operate East Potomac (along with Langston Golf Course, and Rock Creek Park Golf). Renowned architect Tom Doak was set to renovate and restore the Blue Course with respect to its links heritage. However, after back and forth with the Trump Administration, that plan was scrapped."

So the lease the Trust has only started in 2020. And go back a bit in that article :

"Having played these courses since 2009, I can tell you they’re in the best shape I’ve seen them, but due to Hains Point’s topography they are still susceptible to standing water and potential hole closures during heavy periods of rain."

Seems the Trust thing was working.

So much for POTUS being the "Guardian of history" and all that.

He wants the course, and by lying and cheating, using the force of federal Government, he is getting it,

Ha ha, honest I am not a golfer. But it gets worse.

Trump complained in his post about the condition of the grass and the sprinkler system for the public golf course, but debris from the demolition of the White House East Wing has also been dumped on the grounds. The National Park Service said last month that the debris tested positive for lead, chromium and other toxic metals.

Source AP.

I also found sites about the history etc, and how the courses were intended to be for ordinary no frills golfers who want a moderate cost course to play on.

Example here for those interested.

They planned to revive this D.C. muni. President Trump has other plans (golf.com)

The boss guy of the trust said:

“We’re gutted, just gutted,” Smith said on Monday. “We believe that golf in and of itself is a public good, that golf teaches a lot of great life values,” Smith said, and the group was taking its cues from that sentiment. If you know Trump’s golf values, they are very different, as his courses are dramatic and showy, often with tall waterfalls, perfect cart paths and hot dogs at the turn that, per Trump, are the world’s best.

"The National Links Trust has several powerful and accomplished lawyers helping it on a pro bono basis. The Department of Interior has 200 lawyers in D.C. alone."

As I said above. Trump is using the full force of Government to get what he wants while kicking a Trust that believes it is acting for public good out.

White House East Wing debris dumped at nearby golf course has toxic metals, report says

The National Park Service says debris from the demolition of the White House East Wing that was dumped at a nearby public golf course has tested positive for lead, chromium and other toxic metals.

Away from golf, and sorry to flood the thread, they are throwing everything at the pool.

Can the so-called nanobubbler save the Reflecting Pool? | CNN Politics

The tech looks ok, untested in this application though, and I noticed this:

"The water, which the Interior Department confirmed is pulled from municipal water, comes in and is filtered again. This is when Greenwater Service’s technology steps in.

An oxygen concentrator pulls air in and then sends an electrical current that breaks up that O2 into pure oxygen molecules to form “ozone.” That ozone is then injected into the master water pipe, through a series of patented nozzles with pressure."

So that means they are doing 3 things at the same time. They are taking municipal mains water, filtering said water, then doing the nano bubbles. So that thing that I mentioned before comes in to play, That when the pool leaked it was having the water continuously replaced. Fixing the leaks meant much less water replacement. Now they are replicating the leaks really, by pumping clean water in. Re filtration, I assume reverse osmosis to remove the nitrates and nitrites. That is expensive.

Oh... Greenwater services :

"The company’s co-owner, J.J. Cafaro, is a longtime supporter and donor to Trump and lives near his Mar-a-Lago club in South Florida. Cafaro pleaded guilty in 2001 to conspiracy to bribe Rep. James Traficant Jr., an Ohio Democrat."

As soon as I read your first post @RedTagAlan I knew that it meant a Trump takeover of the golf course. Championship courses cost $$$ to maintain, plus they won't want weekend hackers damaging the greens, so bye, bye both $40 rounds and beginners.

For comparison, Trump's course near me is £560 per golfer for 18 holes and the booking is for a minimum of two people. Here, golf is not a rich person's sport, and it is even offered as a sport in some schools. It's therefore not unusual to see people with their golf bags, queuing for a bus to take them to the course.

I hope the NLT lawyers can stop this theft.

Has Trump announced the installation of a 'best in the world' (everyone says) surveillance system to stop future algae farmers with sharp knives from vandalising the refelecting pool after repairs are completed?

Yup, My uncle was a keen golfer. Not big money. A local club in Scotland. And I have known many other golfers. Ordinary folk who head down the Municipal.

Scotland is pretty good that way. I am a fisher. And while folk will think of Salmon fishing in Scotland as a grand a day thing, there are loads of council waters where you can fish the same river for the same fish for 30 quid a day.

Likes of Trump, he does not give a flying fuck about things like that, nor tradition. It's grab grab grab. Keep the rif raf out.

He has fenced it off. Plebs not allowed.

It's as deserted as his State fair apparently.

Thanks for the golf summary @RedTagAlan
I had seen a few reports about the D.C. municipal course earlier this year and wondered what was happening. I seem to recall that the manmade peninsula the course is built on included a public path and a grove of cherry trees gifted by Japan in early 1900s but I guess we can now assume that public access will be severely curtailed unless you're coughing up $$.
Also space is extremely limited because it's a peninsula so where are all the grifting corporate hospitality, concessions and other hoo-hah that's needed going to fit if they have major championships there?

Everyone is talking about Trump’s mock up arch at the Great American State Fair, so I filmed it from top to bottom and front to back for everyone who can’t see it in person.

Will the 'arch' last until 4th July? not by the looks of it. Especially if the rainy weather continues. MDF doesn't like getting wet.

Further down the thread was this photo.
