Trump alarms with move to grab DC golf courses: 'Thinks of government property as his own'

By Ewan Gleadow

A proposed overhaul of the Washington, D.C. golf scene has been opposed by those who believe President Donald Trump "thinks of government property as his own."

The president is expected to make a move on the golf courses in the capital, a project unfavorably compared to Trump's remodeling of the White House. Democratic Party representative Jamie Raskin says a takeover of the golf system in D.C. is further evidence to Trump claiming government buildings as his own property.

Rep. Raskin, speaking to The Hill, said, "That ambition is reflective of a kingly approach to his job. He thinks government property belongs to him … it reflects the same mentality as bulldozing the East Wing. I haven’t heard anyone in the District, Maryland or Virginia say what the area needs is some Trump-run golf courses."

I was telling people he would just sign over the treasury to his private account and be done with it. That he's doing it piecemeal shows an unexpected level of restraint.
