President Trump has found himself in yet another PR sand trap after telling guests at his golf club in Bedminster, N. J., that the « White House is a real dump, » according to Golf.com .
Though a spokesperson denies Golf.com’s account of the exchange, the former reality TV show star was reportedly explaining why he avoids the taxpayer-funded mansion sitting on 18 acres of land and instead chooses to escape to his various golf courses, spending 43 out of his 193 days in office thus far hitting the links.
Ironically, considering the former reality TV show star’s low opinion of the place President Reagan once called an eight-star hotel, many of his own properties have faced health code violations, lawsuits and disdain by neighbors.
President Trump regularly golfs because White House is a ‘dump’
A note of advice to anyone getting ready to host the prime minister of Japan: Always do your best to make sure the fish you intend to serve raw has « undergone proper parasite destruction. »
That was just one of 13 violations health inspectors found at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort less than two weeks before head of state Shinzo Abe arrived for a visit in February.
Additionally, meats were being stored at improper temperatures (41 degrees is the required temperature but some food was sitting in conditions measuring as high as 57 degrees) , refrigerators featured rusted shelves and water wasn’t hot enough for staff to properly wash their hands.
A spokesperson for the Palm Beach spot said the report was updated the same day to show everything had been brought into « full compliance. »

In 2012, officials with the Southern Nevada Health District logged 51 violations while performing a routine inspection of the steakhouse DJT, located at Trump International Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip.
In the same way that Trump spoke of « the good old days » on the campaign trail, it would seem his restaurant was equally nostalgic, featuring month-old caviar, expired yogurt and tomato sauce that had lasted longer than Anthony Scaramucci’s recent tenure as communications director.
Fish parasites also reared their head at the steakhouse, with inspectors finding no measures to destroy the off-putting intruders in both undercooked halibut and salmon.
DJT reopened later that day with a restored « A » grade.

While the alleged billionaire’s repeated claims that President Obama bugged his phones have yet to be proven, one bug-related incident that did take place was when Eric Linder stayed at the Trump National Doral Miami resort in 2016 and woke up the next morning covered in red, swollen bites.
« Trust me when I tell you it is horrible to wake up in the morning and understand that bugs were crawling all over you all night. It’s a nightmare, » the insurance executive from New Jersey told the Miami Herald.
Linder sued in September, asking for more than $15,000 in damages for « pain and suffering » brought about by the swarm of bedbugs living at the five-star resort that feasted upon his face, arms, neck and back.
An out-of-court settlement was reached in May.
Times that members of Donald Trump’s team have been trolled
Trump’s businesses saw a victory in March when their plan to extend the driving range at Trump International Golf Links in Doonbeg, Ireland, without permission was approved despite one local’s objections.
Writing to the local council about the already-constructed 13-foot-high embankment, the neighbor stated, « They have built a massive sand dune, extremely long and high — a complete eyesore, » the Irish Examiner reports.
Moreover, the local was upset over how the extension appeared nice to guests but claimed it looked awful to those living in the area, stating the embankment is « turfed into the side of the golf club, but on the side that the public can see. It is all sand and stones with a few scabby mismatched trees and bushes perched on top. »
Likewise, Trump made few friends with his fight to keep a windfarm away from his Aberdeenshire golf course in Scotland, deeming the renewable energy project « public vandalism. »

A documentary about the general fight locals in Aberdeenshire had waged against Trump was even created. When the BBC announced it would air « You’ve Been Trumped, » his lawyers demanded it not be shown.
The film aired in October 2012.
