Trump has a umber of businesses in New York City. His organization runs the Wollman Ice Skating Rink in Central Park. He also manages a city golf course in the Bronx, (it's ridiculously expensive compared to the other city-owned courses). I'm sure there are many others.

Are those deal all cancelled?

The golf course is on the upper East River and has fantastic views of the city skyline, the bridges and Long Island Sound. Hopefully the city will lower the price!

We New Yorkers have hated Trump for a long time. A friend of mine has a condo on Manhattan's West Side in a building that had leased Trump's name. When the condo board voted to remove Trump's name from the building, Trump threatened to sue but never took any action. When they took the name down, They took the "T" down first and left the rest for a couple of days before finishing the removal. Anyone walking down West End Avenue saw "RUMP"!

I'm going to look for DiBlasio's order. I vowed that I would never play that golf course as long as Trump was associated with it!

Trump has a problem he can’t solve with bullying. As Billy Ray Valentine said, “the best way to hurt rich people is by turning them into poor people.” I’m just waiting for Deutsche Bank to ask for their money.
