The Trump Organization didn't disclose when the damage occurred or whether the president, who stayed at Bedminster over the weekend, was present when the vandal struck

Four Trump Organization golf courses, including one at President Donald Trump’s Bedminster, N.J., residence, were vandalized with slogans critical of the administration etched into putting greens. Police have a suspect in custody.

Nine greens at Trump courses in Ferry Point, Hudson Valley, and Westchester — all in New York — and Bedminster were damaged in similar acts of vandalism, according to a person familiar with the incident. The Trump Organization said a suspect has been identified.

“We take all acts of vandalism very seriously and would like to thank local law enforcement officials for their efforts,” the Trump Organization said Tuesday in a statement. “The individual responsible is in custody and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”

The individual responsible is in custody and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Robert Wolf, a spokesman for Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino, Jr., said his office is investigating an incident Sunday at Trump National Golf Club Westchester in Briarcliff Manor, N.Y. He said a person will be in court on Sept. 27 in connection with the incident but declined to identify them or specify the charges.

The Trump Organization didn’t disclose when the damage occurred or whether the president, who stayed at Bedminster over the weekend, was present when the vandal struck.

Golf greens are expensive to repair. I hope the thug (or more likely Pajama Boy’s Mommy) will be fined the full cost of repairs and of lost revenue from the course.

Jelousy, because of his money. Anger from the politicians because they did not choose him, WE the American public chose him to be OUR candidate, then WE elected him to represent us, the American Working public.

that type of damage should be a Felony and I hope they charge appropriately! Hopefully, they do not let this dirt bag off the hook like they usually do with protesters.

Make him pay every penny of restoration and jail him until greens are in pristine condition. Probably May or June 2018.

Make them fix it, personally.

Make the bastards stand there until the grass grows out to normal length, and then trim everything to the greenskeeper’s satisfaction with a pair of nail clippers.

Golf greens are not cheap. It would probably be enough damage to be considered a felony where I live.

If President Trump had lost the election I would have been bummed out, but the idea of vandalizing Hillary's property would never occur to me in a million years.

The Left and the Democrats have put the sanctity of future elections in jeopardy.

We're going to have lots of "ideas" occurring to us if someone we don't like wins in the future.

And the Democrats will bear complete responsibility for the fruition of those "ideas"...

I still don't understand the hatred for President Trump. What has he done that merits such hatred? It isn't like we have the Vietnam War and Watergate and Martin King assassinations. Times are pretty good considering. I don't know how anyone's life is noticeably different now compared to before the 2016 election.

If President Trump had lost the election I would have been bummed out, but the idea of vandalizing Hillary's property would never occur to me in a million years.

The hatred of President Trump is now in the realm of serious mental illness, psycho whacked crazy.

It's totally irrational and emotional.

I recently sat down in a waiting area where there were a couple of women (aged 70-something) nearby.

They were discussing something, and one of them acknowledged my presence by saying "We were just discussing Trump."

"Oh," I said.

One of them took my "Oh" to mean I joined them in their disapproval of Trump (though I certainly did not mean it that way). "It's unanimous, then," she cackled. She said to her companion, "I hate Americans now. I hate America. I'd like to move to Canada."

"Yeah, I'd like to move to Canada too."

"I just don't understand 45 [Trump]. Did you see his speech? He just keeps breaking law after law and they aren't doing anything about it."

Keep in mind this is in a deep, deep blue neighborhood. I think everyone assumes everyone else here voted for Clinton. Not kidding.

Make the “suspect” pay for repair of all damages and a fine on top of it - showcase it so others start getting the message that the free ride after violence/destruction is over.

Should have asked which laws he has broken.
