Wait someone dumped Trump at a golf course?

I'm more concerned about the walking, talking toxic debris wandering around the White House

*sigh*. Of course they did. They've been dumping East Wing debris on East Potomac Links for *months*. And now they're planning to ["renovate" those links](https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5862016-trump-administration-east-potomac-golf-links/). I can't figure out what incredibly cheap Trump-branded idiocy is going to end up there, but I'm sure *something* will. Now with added toxic waste!

Lead and zinc are a given, if the rubble contains anything that was painted before the 1970's. Government contractors used *lots* of leaded paint, white paint esp.

Was it a Trump course or the competition?

Not reading it, but easily assumed it'd have, at minimum, lead and asbestos, based on the age.

Shit, what about the giant clouds of asbestos dust that wafted through DC when the demo happened? They absolutely did not do any of the required sampling, abatement, or control measures throughout the surprise demo.

Don't tell me, it's a public golf course isn't it?

Better to dump it on the golf course than in the river or forest for example.

This is par for the course as a T* sponsored demolition.

I'd rather toxic waste be dumped at a golf course than in wildlife habitat. Am I supposed to feel bad for these bougie assholes who already destroyed said habitat for their stupid game?

Did they use it to further bury the DEAD EPSTEIN VICTIMS that they buried at the golf course?

Bold of you to think that late stage capitalist robber barons would let activism get in the way of their leisure that is so nicely isolated from the poors and jobbies and whatnot.
