President Trump on Friday went off on Maryland Governor Wes Moore, saying he halted the renovation of the golf courses at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. 

Trump announced plans to “reinstitute the golf courses” with professional golfer and golf course designer Jack Nicklaus last November.

“The Governor of the Great State of Maryland, Wes Moore, has put a halt to all work being done at Joint Base Andrews Air Force Base, concerning the renovation and restoration of their two old and dilapidated Golf Courses, into two, World Class, Jack Nicklaus Designed Courses, plus nine additional holes, also designed by Jack, specially adapted for our Wounded Warriors,” Trump said.

He further accused Moore of “attacking the United States Air Force, and our Military” with the move.

“These Courses exist, they are terrible, Jack Nicklaus will make them GREAT. Why should the Air Force and other Military personnel be forced to wait through a long Legal Review process and, perhaps, even more so, why should Wounded Warriors be forced to travel long distances to play Golf somewhere else or, worse yet, not play Golf at all,” Trump added.

It is unclear what the “long legal review process” Trump refers to is.

By doing this, the Governor is attacking the United States Air Force, and our Military, not a smart thing to do. These Courses exist, they are terrible, Jack Nicklaus will make them GREAT. Why should the Air Force and other Military personnel be forced to wait through a long Legal Review process and, perhaps, even more so, why should Wounded Warriors be forced to travel long distances to play Golf somewhere else or, worse yet, not play Golf at all.

Our Soldiers and Veterans deserve THE BEST — NO WAITING, NO GAMES! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump has previously called out Wes Moore over the crime-ridden streets of Baltimore, Maryland, as well as Moore’s “Gross Mismanagement” of a sewage spill in the Potomac River that originated in Maryland.
