The Donald Wants To Spend Eternity Next To A Mildly Interesting Three-Shotter

Jarrett Renshaw reports that the reality show star is once again considering the creation of The Trump National Bedminster Mausoleum and Funeral Home for the burial of select VIP's. Renshaw says it would border the first hole, according to Trump consultant Ed Russo.

"It’s a very personal decision, but he’s considering it," Russo said. "This is really about members, but we do plan to set something aside for Mr. Trump and his family."

While Trump owns golf courses across the country, as well as in Scotland and Puerto Rico, Bedminster holds a special place in his heart. Whenever asked — and even when he’s not — Trump insists it’s one of the top courses in the world and has lobbied unsuccessfully to have it host the U.S. Open.

This is not the first time the 65-year-old Trump, who boasts an impressive 4 handicap, has flirted with the idea of spending the afterlife nestled by his award-winning course, which opened in 2004. In 2007, he filed drawings with Somerset County township for a family mausoleum that called for a 19-foot-high, classical-style stone structure to be built alongside the first hole at Trump National Golf Club, which features two courses.

The building was to have four imposing obelisks surrounding its exterior and a small altar and six vaults inside. But he withdrew the plan after it drew criticism from local officials in this swath of New Jersey graced by horse farms and imposing mansions who said the memorial was — like Trump himself — gaudy and out of step with the town’s rural character.

Gaudy? Not our Donald!
