Trump Denies Calling The White House A Dump: ‘TOTALLY UNTRUE’

On Tuesday, Golf.com published a profile of President Donald Trump. The report claimed the President made comments to members of his golf club in Bedminster, NJ, in which he called the White House “a dump.”

Now Trump is denying the allegations, citing it as what else but “Fake News.”

“I love the White House, one of the most beautiful buildings (homes) I have ever seen. But Fake News said I called it a dump,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “TOTALLY UNTRUE.”

Trump was immediately slammed for the alleged comment on social media, even being criticized by former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton.

“Thank you to all the White House ushers, butlers, maids, chefs, florists, gardeners, plumbers, engineers & curators for all you do every day,” she wrote.

The Golf.com piece also quoted an alleged address to club members by then-president-elect Trump last November.

“This is my real group,” he reportedly said. “You are the special people. I see all of you. I recognize, like, 100 percent of you, just about.”
