The Trump administration has ended the lease agreement for three public golf courses in Washington, a move that offers President Donald Trump an additional opportunity to put his stamp on another piece of the nation’s capital.
The National Links Trust, the nonprofit that has operated Washington’s three public courses on federal land for the last five years, said Wednesday that the Department of the Interior had terminated its 50-year lease agreement. The Interior Department said it was terminating the lease because the nonprofit had not implemented required capital improvements and failed to meet the terms of the lease.
While it was unclear what the Trump administration’s plans are for the golf courses, the move gives Trump, whose private company has developed numerous golf courses in the U.S. and abroad, the chance to remake links overlooking the Potomac River and in Rock Creek Park and a site that is part of Black golf history.

What is Black golf history? Does it have black golf balls or is someone trying to pull some racism out of the hat?
Good
Pandering and appeasement.
It is merely another way to Kiss Black Ass.
KBA is an existential exercise for the DNC
Terminated golf course = 3.
Indictments of deep state corruption = 0.
It’s nothing personal. It’s strictly business. If one out of those three golf courses is redeveloped as an AI data center then that leaves two that could be renovated, and 2 out of 3 ain’t bad (not to be confused with a song by “Meatloaf”).
You don’t know what you don’t know
As a peanut gallery observer, you aren’t allowed to know what’s really in process
Black golf history?! What the....
“part of Black golf history.”
I AM SO F**KING SICK OF THIS SH!T!! 🤬🤨
Black golf? Cool. The balls are black so it is like a treasure hunt to find your ball.
1995...Trump fought the Town Council in order to open his Florida golf course to Blacks and Jews.
Google a bit...There’s actually some interesting stories about Black Golfers.
Blacks weren’t allowed to play at private clubs and even some public courses.
Indictments of deep state corruption = 0.
My point is that I am sure that Trump will end up making these golf courses extremely appealing. He isn’t a racist at all and I am sure he will preserve any history in those places.
This kind of thing has always been in his wheelhouse.
Your “point” doesn’t fit what you posted at Post 2...not even a tad.
What the heck is Black Golf History?
Well it does. I am saying that I am seeing that the writer of this piece is trying to slyly lead one to think Trump is making this move and will probably disrespect black History.
You didn’t see it. I did.
Fair enough.
There is difficulty attempting to disregard something that does not really exist
