The Environmental Working Group shows that Trump's golf course is one of over 500 cases of New Jersey water sources containing 'forever chemicals.'

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection reports 517 water systems in the state have been contaminated by these chemicals. EWG reports that over 1,000 water systems nationwide are affected by PFAS. PFOA, which was originally manufactured by DuPont for Teflon cookware, is believed to cause liver, testicular, and kidney cancer.

The Trump National Golf Course in Bedminister, New Jersey has shown high levels of toxic chemicals in their drinking water. Trump has used the private golf club to hold meetings in the past.A relatively simple solution exists to reduce PFAS in water. Scott Faber, EWG's vice president for government affairs, likened the Granular Activated Carbon filtration system to a"really big Brita filter.

Fitting.

Like everyone's water? It's in the ground.

Must have been NeverTrumpers.

And the water thing is the same in SF, Chicago and Detroit!! But you keep that a secret?!

Forever chemicals make Frumpf’s water “Holy Water”. The chosen one only serves the best .

Dont believe liberal articles trying to defame president.

Someone fill up a carafe of this forever toxic water for Trump on his next visit.

Ww dint have coal plants in florida.

All Trump properties are dumps,like their owner, with fake makeovers.

It's time for..... Trump Water!!

Bed bugs and contaminated water. Hilton Trump is not.

Melania tears.

If this is how Trump eats his fellow billionaires, imagine how he feels about the Common Man. They have to bathe(or shower) in that tap water after all.

That explains a lot😉

. 'I think it's sadly ironic that a President who has done more to weaken clean water protections has been serving contaminated water to his own guests,' he told Newsweek. Maybe irony is not the correct word.

Not surprised, he doesn’t care.

So if the water there is full of chemicals,what are we drinking? And they are deregulating the clean water rules. Hello. No water means no life.

TrueFactsStated Well...tRUmp rolled back environmental regulations, so there's that.

TrueFactsStated Not to mention herbicides, pesticides and excessive watering...of all golf courses.

TrueFactsStated explaining that the golf course is a microcosm of a larger problem.'But, if he's going to refuse to enact policies to clean up drinking water contamination for the rest of the country, why should the foursome waiting to tee off on the back nine be treated any different?'he added.

TrueFactsStated All of his places are dumps.

TrueFactsStated With his blatant deregulation’s, that’s going to be all of our water someday.

TOXIC tRump, ETTD

Ha ha ha. Maybe he will rethink he attitude on the environment. ClimateEmergency ClimateChange

Just like the owner, toxic and contaminated.😂

I wonder how many people go to a Trump Golf Course and asks for tap water. Really! Membership is VERY expensive.

How prophetic...

Save the bedbugs!

Any Democrats snooping or walking around the area?

... So just as toxic as 45*.

Trump is the toxin.

But of course...

Bed bugs, mould, outrageous fees, toxic water, but hey it’s got the name trump on everything! Come on ‘Muricah!

realDonaldTrump Trump Water! Hazzardous to your health! Everyone who it has been served to, should sue for pain and mental anguish

well that explains trumps mental state
