The article does not say anything about Trump putting his name of this golf course but I have NO doubt that he will.

In October, the National Parks Service began dumping debris from the demolition of the East Wing of the White House onto the golf course, the complaint said 🤮

A lawsuit seeks to stop Trump’s overhaul of a 100-year-old public golf course in Washington

Updated 10:44 AM CST, February 14, 2026

Two golfers in Washington, D.C., sued the federal government on Friday to try to prevent the Trump administration from overhauling a more than 100-year-old public golf course, accusing the administration of violating environmental laws and polluting a park that is on the National Register of Historic Places.

The suit is the latest in a series of legal battles challenging President Donald Trump’s extraordinary efforts to put his mark on public spaces in the nation’s capitol, including shuttering the Kennedy Center. ......................................



..........Construction on the East Potomac course has already begun, according to the lawsuit. In October, the National Parks Service began dumping debris from the demolition of the East Wing of the White House onto the golf course, the complaint said, raising concerns that the materials could contain contaminants that could pollute the air.

As a result, the plaintiffs argued, the administration of also violated the National Environmental Policy Act by failing to consider the harmful environmental impacts of the project.
