In a social media post, Mr Trump said his administration will “immediately appeal, on an expedited basis” the temporary restraining order from US District Judge Ana Reyes, which she issued just before East Potomac Golf Links was due to close today for 15 months.
“It is in a terrible state of disrepair, as anybody can see by just looking at the pictures that are now circulating all over the Country, and in the Court,” said Mr Trump, who spent much of the weekend posting photos on his social media site of the golf course. “They don’t call it Trash Island for no reason!”
Trump had announced work on the site along the Potomac River would begin that day despite the legal challenge initiated against the project in February by the DC Preservation League and two local golfers.
The plaintiffs argue that the president’s plan would change the character of the accessible golf course and make it unaffordable, something Mr Trump has denied.
