Trump Boasts Grass Expertise During D.C. Law Enforcement Visit

President Donald Trump delivered a speech to law enforcement and National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., where he announced plans to renovate the city’s parks with new grass and sprinkler systems, boasting about his expertise due to his ownership of numerous golf courses. He claimed to know "more about grass than any human being," comparing the parks’ future appearance to the well-manicured grass at Augusta and Trump National Golf Club. The president’s remarks, which included an unusual focus on grass and landscaping, quickly went viral and sparked a mix of amusement, confusion, and criticism on social media. Critics questioned his mental acuity and condemned the federal takeover of D.C. police as "authoritarian," while some mocked his promise to make national parks resemble his golf courses. The comments occurred amid Trump's broader effort to take control of D.C. law enforcement to address crime, which he described as "a historic action to rescue our nation's capital." Despite crime rates declining in recent years, Trump highlighted over 465 arrests since his federal intervention began, emphasizing his commitment to improving both public safety and the city's physical environment.
