Trump Claims White House Staffer Injured On Golf Course Blocked By Judge

President Donald Trump accused a federal judge of personal responsibility for injuries on a public golf course on Wednesday night.

The President posted on Truth Social that a White House staffer was hit violently in the chest by a golf ball at East Potomac Golf Links. He described the course as highly dangerous, dilapidated, and absolutely disgusting. He stated that golf balls soar through the holes at high speed and hit unsuspecting golfers.

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes issued a temporary order on Monday. The order barred the Interior Department from redeveloping the 106-year-old East Potomac Park. The park includes the golf course and miles of public walking and cycling trails. Trump claimed on Wednesday that he would hold Reyes fully responsible if anyone is hurt or killed on the course. He called her a Biden appointee and a crazed lunatic in his social media post.

The legal dispute stems from a lawsuit filed by the DC Preservation League and two golfers. They argue the planned work will irreparably destroy a priceless piece of American history. The league accused the administration of violating environmental laws. They also noted that the government cut down hundreds of healthy, noninvasive trees without warning before the latest court order.

Trump has sought to turn the affordable, federally owned course into an exclusive world championship playground for a month. He announced on social media that the park would close by November 15. He said renovations would last 15 months. The President claimed he did not need Reyes to approve the project.

Reyes ordered that no more trees be removed. She also required the administration to provide 10 days' notice before closing the course or making further modifications. The White House told reporters it had contacted officials for an update on the staffer's condition. The court order stands as the administration prepares for the planned closure.
