Tensions Mount at East Potomac Park Over Proposed Golf Course and Tree Removals

Hundreds gathered at East Potomac Park to protest a proposed Trump-backed golf course as National Park Service crews removed several trees in what officials describe as routine maintenance; activists fear the public space could be rebuilt away from public use, and with a related lawsuit paused and few project details released, transparency about the plan remains a central concern ahead of a Tuesday construction start date.

Judge halts charges against ex-Marine amid mental-health evaluation after Trump golf-course arrest

A judge suspended criminal charges against 38-year-old Jeanine John Taele, a former Marine, who was arrested at Trump National Golf Course Los Angeles with a loaded 9 mm pistol, a loaded magazine, and a badge in his vehicle. Taele is being evaluated in a Hollywood mental-health court after a pretrial assessment suggested he’s not fit to stand trial and he claimed to have been a State Department official. Investigators noted about 200 pages of writings found at the scene, including schedules for Melania Trump and Secret Service members, and Taele has a prior 2025 arrest for robbery. He remains jailed until a September 9 hearing; his attorney said it’s too early to determine how mental health may affect his defense. The case underscores concerns about violence in a polarized political environment.

Bronx Golf Course Drops Trump Name in Casino Deal

Bally's Corporation, the sole bidder seeking to build a casino in the Bronx, has purchased the lease on the Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point, a public golf course operated by Donald J. Trump's company. The purchase is expected to help Bally's chances of winning a casino bid by removing the Trump name from the golf course. The deal, which is scheduled to close on Tuesday, involves Bally's paying at least tens of millions of dollars for the remainder of the lease, which expires in 2035. Bally's plans to change the name of the golf course to Bally's Links and is also considering investing in a shuttle bus to improve transportation to the site.
