The city is doing a full “180” on its plan to shutter Trump-operated ice skating rinks.

City Hall on Sunday reversed Mayor de Blasio’s move to shutter Lasker and Wollman rinks in Central Park six weeks ahead of their typical April closing dates — in an effort to freeze-out his political rival.

Calling Trump a political rival gives WdB entirely too much stature. Remember that he tried for the’D’ nomination and lasted only a very short time.

Warren Wilhelm Jr. justs wants to give the contracts to his cronies and contributers. He is utterly corrupt. Once his corrupt cronies take over, the entire enterprise will become a complete fustercluck.

But the new plan is to use high explosives to blow up anything Trump built or ran. As his old building fell last week. The rink should go sky high with Dems cheering and children crying. Good optics./s

One moron posted an article that he switched his former meditation video to the new one of the implosion of the Trump building.

Some numbnuts at City Hall just realized Trump could make more money for breach of contract than he could just continuing to operate as usual for a few months.

He’ll dole out the crony contracts. By the end of next season, the ice rinks will be such a failure some kid will drown while skating.

How can Donald Trump be a political rival of the Mayor of New York?

Trump lives in Florida. He can’t run of any office in NYC.

I think several stories in the NY Post published that trump was going to live in Mara Lago going forward.

I guess even Post reporters don’t read the Post.

The whole state of NY has been unfair to Trump.

Don’t think I want any products from a state that acts with so much hate.
