Sigh.
Destruction is his happy place.
More than a century ago, Japan gifted cherry trees to the United States as a symbol of friendship. Many people know the famous blooms around the Tidal Basin, but East Potomac Park is also home to a historic grove, including the oldest gifted trees that date back to 1910, now more than 115 years old.
The Trump administration is moving forward with a plan to redesign the historic East Potomac Golf Links into a championship-size course. That plan extends into the cherry grove and bike trail area.
More than 60 trees were removed in the last weeks as part of the work.
