Business Insider<\/a>, Trump described how he first heard that the 2022 PGA Championship would no longer be staged at his Bedminster, New Jersey course.<\/p>\nThe event had originally been awarded to Trump National Golf Club Bedminster before the PGA of America moved it elsewhere in the aftermath of the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack.<\/p>\n
Trump said, \u201cMy son, who\u2019s a great guy, called. My son said, \u2018Dad, they\u2019re canceling the PGA Championship [at Trump Bedminster]. I said, \u2018That\u2019s terrible. Really? Are you serious?\u2019 He said, \u2018Yeah, they\u2019re canceling it. Can you believe it?\u2019 I said, \u2018Not really. Let me think about that. That\u2019s something.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then I had to get back to work and China and all this stuff, Russia, the country. But it\u2019s a hell of a thing when you hear that.\u201d<\/p>\n
The PGA of America later confirmed it had voted to terminate the agreement for Trump Bedminster to host the 2022 PGA Championship.<\/p>\n
Donald Trump argued the Bedminster, New Jersey course was built for a major<\/p>\n
Trump also made the case that his Bedminster, New Jersey property was ideally suited to stage a golf major.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cI would\u2019ve loved to have done it and because I have the right place, I have the right location, the Tom Fazio course \u2014 he feels it was one of his best jobs he\u2019s ever done.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s essentially right outside the Lincoln Tunnel, 20 minutes away. It\u2019s perfect and big. And I have the two courses there. We have parking for thousands of cars. It would have been phenomenal,\u201d Trump concluded.<\/p>\n
The broader backdrop, though, was the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which interrupted the certification of Joe Biden\u2019s election victory and triggered major political and corporate fallout<\/p>\n
That is what makes this a true throwback. Trump\u2019s 2022 frustration over Bedminster was really part of the longer shadow cast by events from 2021.<\/p>\n
