Trump accused of trashing trees on banks of the Potomac

The Potomac River Keeper Network is accusing President Donald Trump and his Trump National golf course of creating an environmental disaster by clear cutting a grove of mature trees on the banks of the Potomac to improve the view from a riverside putting green.

The trees were then dumped into the river, according to Steve McKone, a kayaker, river guide and summer camp educator who first blew the whistle on the cutting.

"The worst part about it is all the trees that have been thrown in the river to clog up the waterways," McKone said.

The trees could create hazards know as "strainers" in a popular kayaking site downstream that threaten to trap and drown student paddlers, McKone warns.

I'd laugh myself silly if his golf course became flooded as a result of his action.
