Trump's New Jersey Golf Resort Faces Closure Demands After Health Score Plummets Due to Contaminated Meat and Soap Shortages, Management Slams 'Political Agenda'

President Donald Trump’s golf club in New Jersey is facing backlash from the Somerset County Department of Health, following the revelation of 18 health violations, half of which pose “an unacceptable health risk.” Last month’s inspection, initially reported by Forbes, resulted in a dismal score of 32 out of 100 for the President’s National Golf Club in Bedminster, marking it as one of the lowest-rated venues in the region. Serious infractions included expired dairy products, raw meat improperly stored, a malfunctioning dishwasher, and a lack of soap at a sink. Though the facility improved its rating to 86 during a follow-up inspection, further issues were uncovered, such as milk kept at excessive temperatures. Club general manager David Schutzenhofer decried the findings as politically motivated, emphasizing the establishment’s commitment to cleanliness and hospitality. Meanwhile, social media criticism intensified, with calls for the resort's closure echoing widely, highlighting the critical importance of stringent food safety practices as thousands fall victim to foodborne illnesses each year.
