A federal judge on Monday said she was “furious” with the Trump administration’s move over the weekend to cut down at least 430 trees from a Washington, DC, public golf course that President Donald Trump is seeking to renovate.
US District Judge Ana Reyes, who is overseeing a legal challenge to Trump’s plans to overhaul the East Potomac Golf Course, put a tentative hold on any further tree removal and is holding an emergency hearing Monday, in which she told Justice Department attorneys they had lost “credibility” with her because they gave less than a day’s notice before cutting down the trees.
“More than just being upset and furious right now, I am just beyond disappointed with the government,” Reyes said. When a DOJ attorney said they had done their “best” to give her and the plaintiffs a heads-up, the judge said, her voice raised, “No, you did your absolute worst.”
“I am thoroughly unamused right now,” Reyes also said.
The whole raison d’être of this regime is to tear down and destroy everything people value, partly to demoralize and for their own feeling of power, but especially destroying the democratic system to make way for the techno-fascist oligarchs’ takeover of the government.
BUT the people can take advantage of this situation and co-opt their tearing down of the neoliberal order, to replace it with democratic socialism instead. It can happen.

I mean this one is more transparent, he wants to transfer ownership to himself before he leaves office and he wants the bulk of the remodel to happen before that time.
