Trees Planted at Trump International Where CNN Filmed Trump Golfing
Trump Closes 2017 with 90th Visit to a Golf Property
CNN reported on Saturday that trees have been planted where the network’s cameras caught Donald Trump golfing during his holiday stay at Mar-a-Lago.
“CNN news cameras did not get any video of President Trump playing golf,†host Ana Cabrera noted during her segment. “And here’s why: where CNN cameras were once positioned, trees appear. Yes, new trees are being planted there.â€
CNN’s White House Producer Noah Gray shared this image of Donald Trump “checking out our camera outside the golf course†on Friday, ahead of the new installation:

A large box truck parked outside of the Trump International Golf Club in Florida to obscure CNN’s view following the video. It prompted former Obama White House photographer Pete Souza to troll the president’s desire to hide one of his favorite pastimes in his usual epic fashion.
As one Twitter user noted:
How embarrassing for @realDonaldTrump. Just own it, dude. https://t.co/mYYXbRwEkU
