Side by side
Left-leaning outlets emphasize local opposition and frame the story around community loss, highlighting that the renovation would eliminate features "beloved by locals" and quoting golfers who reject Trump's characterization of the course as a "trash island." They focus on "grassroots pushback" and residents feeling "discouraged."
