New York City’s attempts to divorce itself from Donald Trump have turned into a comedy of errors — one that could end up sticking taxpayers with a not-so-funny $30 million bill.
After the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, Mayor de Blasio vowed to rid the city of Trump. Aiming to become a hero to progressives, on Jan. 13 the mayor said he would yank the Trump Organization’s longtime concession contracts to operate the historic Central Park carousel, Wollman and Lasker skating rinks in the park, and the Trump Ferry Point Golf Course in The Bronx.
“This president has committed an unlawful act, he has disgraced himself, he will no longer profit from his relationship with New York City,” de Blasio told reporters. The city then moved to strip the Central Park contracts from Trump even though they would have expired that spring anyway.
The campaign went south right from the start. The effort to boot Trump would have shuttered the two skating rinks six weeks early, creating an outcry from skaters about the premature end to the season. City Hall then reversed course and allowed the contract to run out instead.

As if under normal circumstances NYC does not allow people who do unlawful acts to profit from their relationship with New York City
what an idiot, a lowlife. With all the crises in NY and the crimes that he condones, THIS IS WHAT HE FINDS IMPORTANT AND TO COST US $30 MILLION. Last week him and stringer, another loser, are taking $8 Billion out of pension funds to invest in green (garbage) energy. This is what NY voted for and will get a continuation with his buddy Adams who will cover everything up from the current mayor.

I agree. The perverted Biden crime family should all be in a prison cell. The Bidens should be banned from ever visiting NYC.
Biden has no business interests in NYC. Or anywhere else. And he has created no crime.
I guess you haven’t read up on Hunter Biden? Your local biased media will not report it. The fraud himself, Merrick Garland, has promised his boss, Biden, that he will never investigate his lovely son.
Why can’t the the blazing idiot and thief just leave already. Boston wants him back.
agree enough with trump
30 million is a lot of money. It could buy another million miniature Floyd sculptures, to place in every NYC household. Of course, those could also be produced from manure, instead, which would be better for the environment, and far more in line with George’s personality and life.
Ha ha ha. Very well said. +1
