Report: Coast Guard to create Potomac River buffer zone when Trump is golfing

The Coast Guard plans to close off 2 miles of the Potomac River where it shares a border with President Trump’s National Golf Club in Sterling, Va., due to safety concerns, The Washington Post reported Monday.

The newspaper reports that many types of waterway vehicles would be restricted from entering the area if Trump or top White House officials are playing on the golf course, including kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddle boards, sailboats, jet-skis, motorboats and more.

Regular recreational river users, including injured veterans and Olympic athletes, are intensely against the new banned zone.

The new policy would block off an area known as Riley’s Lock, which is regularly used by a kayaking program for wounded and disabled veterans, as well as summer camps to take off for their river-related activities, the Post reported.

how many people are inconvenienced by his "pleasure" travel. Has he even worked a 40 hour week since he usurped the presidency? I think not.
