Golf journalist: At least 8 people heard Trump call the White House a dump

Source: The Hill

A golf journalist is standing by his report that President Trump called the White House a "dump" despite Trump's claim that it's "totally untrue."

Alan Shipnuck told Golf Magazine that eight or nine people heard Trump call the White House a dump.

Shipnuck published a report about Trump’s golfing hobby in Sports Illustrated this week, which included the reveleation that Trump called the president’s house a “real dump” compared to his New Jersey country club.

Shipnuck told Golf Magazine that a White House spokeswoman called him to demand a retraction for the statement, but that he would not do so because he heard it from multiple people and that he believes they are credible sources.

We know he has a habit of shooting off his anus mouth with nary a thought of who might be listening and how it will come across. He also likes to say things that are sure to get attention and that might be somewhat controversial. So why wouldn't he try to impress the people at his golf resort by suggesting the White House is somehow beneath his "standards"?

I have no problem believing he said it and was not joking since that seems to be their favorite excuse du jour for his off the cuff comments.
