Trump Reportedly Called the White House ‘A Real Dump’ at Golf Club
President Trump has received a lot of criticism for going golfing too much, and a new piece in Sports Illustrated features a quote of the President’s taking a shot at the White House while at his Bedminster club.
Per the piece on Golf.com (emphasis added):
Chatting with some members before a recent round of golf, he explained his frequent appearances: “That White House is a real dump.” Trump is often at his most unguarded among the people who pay for their proximity to him. Last November, the President-elect hosted a cocktail reception and dinner at Bedminster on the same weekend that he was holding interviews at the club with candidates for his Cabinet. At the dinner, Trump addressed the members of the club by saying, “This is my real group. You are the special people. I see all of you. I recognize, like, 100% of you, just about.” Then he issued an open invitation to drop in on his Cabinet interviews the next day.
A lot of people on Twitter were taken aback by that “dump” quote in particular:
Trump thinks the White House is a real dump. Well, many Americans think a human heap of garbage has taken up residence there. https://t.co/4sfIyJ3re4

If Obama said this, we would have bitched about it for approximately 903.7 years. https://t.co/ukRyXXiNZT

I mean it's obvious where the spin is headed: Obama turned the place into a dump.

Even Chelsea Clinton weighed in:
Thank you to all the White House ushers, butlers, maids, chefs, florists, gardeners, plumbers, engineers & curators for all you do every day https://t.co/rjQS9HeALG
