Donald Trump lost it on the federal judge opposed to the government’s work to improve a public golf course in Washington, D.C., in a social media screed early Monday morning, saying his administration has an “absolute right” to perform the work.

In a Truth Social post before dawn, Trump attacked U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes, a day after he unveiled his plans to close the public East Potomac Golf Course for 15 months to construct “one of the Best and Most Spectacular Golf Courses anywhere in the World.”

    Why the fuck is it normal now for a president to just flat out lie loudly about everyone he disagrees with? Republicans not denouncing him constantly ensures their place in history as complacent Nazis

      And why is it normal that there is no effective push-back against those lies?

      Once upon a time (e.g. Nixon), they pretended so that they could remain morally superior. Now, they stopped trying to maintain the lie.

        Yep. I kinda miss them pretending honestly. Even if it’s pretending, it sort of holds flood gates closed in a sense. I think we can definitely expect more openly corrupt politicians across the spectrum moving forward.
