‘TOTALLY UNTRUE’: Trump takes to Twitter to deny that he called the White House a ‘dump’
Trump has spent nearly every weekend of his presidency visiting various properties he owns and leases
US President Donald Trump has taken to Twitter to dispute a much-repeated report that he prefers staying at his own properties around the country because the White House is “a real dump.”
“I love the White House, one of the most beautiful buildings (homes) I have ever seen,” Trump tweeted, blaming the misunderstanding on “Fake News.”
“TOTALLY UNTRUE,” the president said.
A story that debuted Tuesday on Golf.com (that is also appearing in Sports Illustrated) about the president’s love of the links reported that he told some of his golf buddies of his preference.
Explaining his frequent visit to his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump reportedly told several club members: “That White House is a real dump.”
The publication noted that a Trump spokesman denied Trump had made the statement.
Whatever the case, Trump is scheduled to go to Bedminster on Friday for a two-week summer stay.
