By the time the plan reached the Oval Office in August, it was drastically different from what NLT and Doffermyre had initially discussed. Rather than helping the nonprofit raise money and cut red tape, Department of the Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Doffermyre pitched Trump on transforming East Potomac Golf Links into a high-end, professional-level course named “Washington National Golf Course.”

The following month, Doffermyre issued a formal default notice to NLT. Trump then sent dirt from his demolition of the White House’s East Wing to East Potomac Golf Links (because it would be needed for a renovation anyway). And then last week, the Department of the Interior formally terminated its lease with NLT 45 years early.
