Judge halts tree removal at Washington golf course Trump eyes for expansion

HONESTLY I HAD TO CHECK IT WAS NOT A JOKE BUT JUDGE ANA REYES JUST ORDERED A TOTAL 24-HOUR HALT ON CUTTING DOWN TREES AT THE EAST POTOMAC GOLF COURSE, WHICH IS NUTS BECAUSE THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE HAD ALREADY SCHEDULED THE REMOVAL OF 169 TREES STARTING SATURDAY WITH ANOTHER 90 SLATED LATER ON! THE JUDGE IS MAKING THE NATIONAL MALL SUPERINTENDENT KEVIN GRIESS EXPLAIN THE TIMELINE AND WHO ACTUALLY ORDERED THIS STUFF BECAUSE APPARENTLY, THEY CLAIMED THESE 500 TREES DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE HISTORIC LANDSCAPE BUT THE JUDGE WARNED THAT THIS IS LIKELY CAUSING IRREPARABLE HARM WHILE THERE IS STILL A PENDING COURT CASE ABOUT DONALD TRUMP’S PLANS TO TURN THE WHOLE THING INTO A WORLD-CLASS GOLF VENUE, SO NOW EVERYTHING IS PAUSED WHILE SHE DIGS INTO IT. ANYWAY I WILL SEND YOU THE LINK TOMORROW.

YOU KNOW WHAT IS ACTUALLY MENTAL IS THAT A FEDERAL JUDGE JUST HAD TO STEP IN AND STOP THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE FROM CHOPPING DOWN TREES AT THE EAST POTOMAC GOLF COURSE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TERRIFIED ABOUT DONALD TRUMP’S EXPANSION PLANS! THE PARK SERVICE TRIED TO SAY 500 TREES HAD TO GO BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT PART OF THE HISTORIC LANDSCAPE BUT JUDGE ANA REYES IS NOT HAVING IT AND DEMANDED THEY EXPLAIN THEMSELVES BY THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE SHE THINKS REMOVING THEM IS AN IMMEDIATE PROBLEM WHILE THE LEGAL CASE IS STILL HAPPENING, SO EVEN ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS TOTALLY FROZEN RIGHT NOW UNTIL THEY CAN PROVE WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. I MEAN WHO EVEN DECIDES WHICH TREES ARE HISTORIC AND WHICH ARE JUST IN THE WAY OF A WORLD-CLASS GOLF VENUE? ANYWAY I WILL BE FURIOUS ABOUT THIS TOMORROW.

A federal judge has temporarily halted the National Park Service from cutting down trees at Washington's East Potomac golf course amid an ongoing legal challenge over Donald Trump's expansion plans.
