Trump says DC residents will receive 50% discount at Potomac golf course

President Donald Trump has criticised the condition of East Potomac Golf Links, calling it “Trash Island”, and said people living in the Washington, D.C., area will receive a 50% discount on rates at its renovated course. The announcement links the golf course project to his broader effort to reshape landmarks and public spaces around the US capital.

Trump did not provide further details about the renovation, the rates or when the discount would begin. His other projects in Washington have included work involving the Lincoln Memorial’s Reflecting Pool and plans for a new White House ballroom, which have drawn opposition.
