The corruption is so obvious. Why no action?

January 2

I am writing to demand immediate action regarding the Trump Administration's termination of lease agreements for three public golf courses in the Washington, D.C. area. This decision, made on January 1, 2026, represents a blatant conflict of interest and potential corruption that requires congressional oversight and investigation. The termination of these municipal golf course leases, with apparent plans for a Trump takeover, constitutes a direct financial benefit to the President while harming public access to recreational facilities. These courses serve the community as affordable public amenities, and their conversion to privatex Trump-branded properties would eliminate access for ordinary constituents while enriching the Trump family business empire. This action follows a pattern of self-dealing that has characterized this administration. The President maintains financial interests in his business operations while making policy decisions that directly impact those same businesses. The golf course lease termination is not an isolated incident but part of a broader abuse of public office for private gain. I am demanding that you take concrete action to address this corruption. Specifically, I expect you to call for immediate congressional hearings to investigate the circumstances surrounding these lease terminations, introduce or support legislation to prevent presidents from profiting from government property while in office, and publicly condemn this abuse of power. Your constituents deserve representation that will stand up against corruption regardless of party affiliation. The Trump Administration's actions represent a fundamental threat to ethical governance and the public trust. I need to see you actively working to hold this administration accountable through oversight, legislation, and public statements. I expect a response detailing the specific actions you will take to address this matter. Silence or inaction on corruption of this magnitude is unacceptable.
