Sometimes, numbers tell more than any political statement ever could. One of them: 32 out of 100 points \u2013 that was the score awarded to the \u201cTrump National Golf Club Bedminster\u201d in May 2025 by the Somerset County Department of Health. A rating that, in the world of food safety, equals total failure and, according to the inspection report, poses an \u201cunacceptable health risk.\u201d It was the lowest score issued among the 115 registered food establishments in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And all this at a place where the self-proclaimed clean man of the West, Donald J. Trump, not only plays golf but also hosts statesmen, holds ketamine dinners, and incidentally earns income through his \u201cRevocable Trust\u201d \u2013 a legal construct that allows him to profit privately even while serving as president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The list of infractions reads like the script of a kitchen slasher film: soap and towels missing at multiple hand-washing stations, a sink used to store a bucket of sanitizer, mandatory hand-washing signs nowhere to be found. And then the highlight \u2013 a regular household microwave oven in the main kitchen. The inspector\u2019s comment: \u201cMust be removed. Only commercial grade equipment allowed.\u201d That this is not an isolated incident but part of a pattern is confirmed by another remark: the sheer number of violations, the inspector wrote, is in itself a violation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What remains is a mixture of absurd theater and bitter reality. While Trump continues to project the image of a sovereign host at Bedminster, his own \u201cLaw and Order\u201d ethic slips under the stove. That it was precisely here that Elon Musk \u2013 the self-styled government modernizer \u2013 was seen playing with spoons at a dinner with Trump and Shivon Zilis only reinforces the site\u2019s role as a decadent farewell to all seriousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A clip from that meeting is now circulating on social media. For many, it serves as confirmation that Musk \u2013 as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency \u2013 embodied not efficiency but a showcase of excess, vanity, and intoxication. And as rumors of his drug use continue to mount, Bedminster is recast in a new light \u2013 as the stage of an escalating circus of power, where cleanliness \u2013 both moral and physical \u2013 is at best symbolic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will the club issue a statement? Unclear. They\u2019ve been asked \u2013 but if you're already skimping on soap, you probably won\u2019t waste too many words either.<\/p>\n

Ein Wert, der in der Welt der Gastronomie nicht nur einem Totalschaden gleichkommt, sondern laut Inspektionsbericht ein \u201einakzeptables Gesundheitsrisiko\u201c […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3046,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"iawp_total_views":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[49,41,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-state-news","category-trump-s-world","category-trump-usa"],"yoast_head":"\n
