Trump said to call White House 'real dump'

Donald Trump has reportedly told members at his golf club in Bedminster he spends so much time away from the White House because it's a "real dump".

President Donald Trump has told members of his New Jersey golf club he spends so much time away from Washington because the White House is a "real dump".

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the account, which appeared in a lengthy article posted on the website golf.com.

The story on Trump's complicated love for golf also appears in Sports Illustrated magazine.

The story recounts a scene in which Trump was chatting with some club members.

Trump told the members he makes such frequent appearances at the property in Bedminster, New Jersey, because: "That White House is a real dump."

Trump has spent nearly every weekend of his presidency visiting various properties he owns and leases, including Bedminster.
