The national golf emergency continues...Donald Trump loves his time off and he especially loves his golf. While the White House schemes how to use the billions they could steal from our military, Trump is in full emergency mode right now—stuffing himself full of omelets and playing 18 again...
Meanwhile, back in the real world where people are being severely impacted by Trump: Texas landowners Nayda Alvarez and Yvette Gaytan are in court right now fighting to save their properties from being seized by this “president.”
GARCIA-NAVARRO: Nayda Alvarez owns a home near the Rio Grande river along the U.S.-Mexico border. A few months ago, she got a letter from the government saying her property is in the path of President Trump's proposed wall. The government could build a wall through her land if it got the funding.
ALVAREZ: I'm talking about, you know, my grandfather's land, my parents'. And my house is at the very back in the corner. It's about 200 feet away from the river. It's very quiet, peaceful. You know, you hear the birds singing.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: And then President Trump declared a national emergency and got that funding.
ALVAREZ: I mean, I was in shock.
It’s obvious that keeping these properties is about family legacies. Properties that have been in their families for generations, but the golfer and wrecking ball in the White House could care less. He ‘didn’t need to do this,’ but what the hell let’s just ruin the lives of Americans.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: Like Nayda Alvarez, Yvette Gaytan also got a letter from the government last year. Gaytan says she can't imagine uprooting her family. Her property is all paid off, and it would be a huge financial loss. But more than that...
YVETTE GAYTAN: My dad was born actually there and raised there. He never wanted to leave that property. That means everything to me. My dad was everything to me, and I lost him. And now, with the threat of losing that, I feel like I would fail him because my parents - they were migrant workers. They worked their butts off to be able to put that house together for us. It's our heritage.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: Both Nayda Alvarez and Yvette Gaytan joined others who could be affected by the proposed wall in their area to file suit in the U.S. Court for the District of Columbia, claiming that Trump exceeded his authority and, according to his own statements, there's no need for that state of emergency.
While Yvette Gaytan is worried sick about failing her late father and losing her family’s heritage, the occupant in the White House just keeps golfing and luxuriating at his properties—that won’t be seized.
In America, we have a “president” who literally hates Americans. That’s the truth. Many of his loyal brainwashed followers haven’t figured this out yet and many never will, but as we’ve seen from the results of the GOP tax scam—maybe it’s starting to hit home a bit?
American immigrant families are defending our Constitution and it’s a beautiful sight to behold—while many Republicans side with Trump in destroying it. Let us hope that Mrs. Gaytan and Mrs. Alvarez are successful in defending their heritage, their properties, and our country. Great Americans they are, unlike you know who.
