"A chandelier from Mr. Trump's home in Bedford, N.Y., hangs in the mens locker room"
Under cloudy skies in fall 2002, as guests and reporters looked on, Donald J. Trump dug into the ground with a gold-painted shovel to signify the opening of Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J.
“Let’s take a little dirt out of here,” Mr. Trump said.
Even on this occasion, long before he would use the term “fake news” to describe how he was portrayed in the news media, Mr. Trump took a shot at the huddle of reporters gathered on the soggy lawn. Waving the shovel full of dirt at them, he said, according to The Bernardsville News, “O.K., now let’s throw it on the press.”
The Bedminster club is special to the president because, unlike others that bear the family name, it was built more or less from scratch, to his specifications, with two new 18-hole golf courses carved out of land where fox hunting was once a common pastime. A chandelier from Mr. Trump’s home in Bedford, N.Y., hangs in the men’s locker room, and he once sought to be buried in a plot near the first hole.
