Is it true that the Trump administration had 60 cherry blossom trees cut down in Washington to build a golf course?

No. A fact-check directly addressing the claim reports that about 60 trees were removed from East Potomac Park as routine maintenance, but only one cherry tree removal was mentioned, and the removals were not to build a golf course.
