New York City will terminate business contracts with President Donald Trump after last week's insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Wednesday.
The Trump Organization is under city contract to operate the two ice rinks and a carousel in Central Park as well as a golf course in the Bronx.
The Trump Organization profits about $17 million a year from those sites, de Blasio said.
“I’m here to announce that the city of New York is severing all contracts with the Trump Organization,” de Blasio said.

He has some cronies he'll hand the deals to for only twice what they pay now.

Some Florida cities should get ready for a makeover.
Remember how some of the most notorious gangsters (black in particular) up North came from down South? Well, Mr. President, I know you live in Flo-rida now, but we'll take you in reverse all over the South.

he's been waiting for the day when he could say this. comrade deblasio is beyond being vengeful and vindictive and he won't be happy until Donald John Trump is homeless and penniless.

Canceling a contract is an expensive legal process. I expect Trump to sue and the settlement amount will probably be under an NDA. But it makes great headlines and makes all Trump derangers happy.

I doubt if Trump cares. It won't be long before there won't be anybody left in NYC to use them anyway.

Don't know what the contracts say, but unless there is something in them that gives de Blovart legal authority to cancel, Trump can sue and make the city pay bigly. These Dems are going over the top and hopefully it will bite them in the ---

I'd bet Trump has written-in-blood contracts with stiff penalties for DeBlomio's action.

What happened at the capitol, even if incited by Trump, is not a legal excuse to breach of contract. Sounds like a lawsuit.

If it was not for Donald Trump there would be no ice rink in Central Park. Cut through all the Bloombergian bilge, and here’s the story:

President Trump needs to close down all of his NY city businesses. He then needs to sell him buildings to churches who can then use them for official church business so that the city will not get a penny of tax money out of them.
Sure, he will lose some money in these deals. But it will massively hurt this nasty and evil Sodom and Gomorrah city far more so!!!!!

Re my last Reply, that Bloomberg article states that Trump wanted the concession rights, with the intent to donate the proceeds to charity.
Let’s see how this works out...

Top applicants include the mayor’s wife with her exceptional managerial skills, Hunter Biden, with his knack for hard work or some other democrat that needs a job.

And the ice rinks will be defunct very soon. The corrupt city wasted $13 million dollars and got NOTHING when they spent six years "fixing" the skating rink. Trump took over, guaranteeing a six month turnaround and no more than $3 million in cost. Crooked Koch tried hard to keep Trump from getting the contract, but the people of NYC were sick of it.
Trump finished the project in four months, 25% under cost, and has run it at a profit, generating money for CHARITY ever since 1987. And the city leaders have hated him for showing up their incompetence and corruption ever since.
So, the rink will be crapped out soon enough, and the money flowing to charity will dwindle and stop.
Communists ruin EVERYTHING, always.

IIRC, Trump rescued the ice rinks and the golf course from horrendous maintenance. They'll be back as rodent-infested weed gardens before long...

Got a feeling DeBlankio will have his head handed to him i court. Pretty sure the contract will have specific grounds for termination and DeBlankio's claim of insurrection will be handled in a court of Pseudo
-law (It is NY state after all).

Citizen Donald Trump will make billions of dollars off lawsuits against not only his political enemies, and the media who lied, cheated, and libeled him during the last 4 years, but also against scumdog Demonrats like the "granny-killer" Como, who are especially odious to the average citizen.

Isn't there a law about selective prosecution/punishment without a trial?

Hey commie Wilhem, it was the president who restored the ice rink to the city. The little no body called Wilhelm does not want to go missing from the hate groups. That said, NYC deserves Wilhem and AOC. Both were voted back in and NYC you deserve where you are going!

Always trying to look relevant. Just one more piece of NYC falling apart.
But hey, your loss is Florida's gain. We love the guy.

It's not surprising that comrade de Blasio would terminate all Trump contracts. He's joining the commie troop train.

Well, of course you'll cancel these contracts! Severing ties with the only person who ever successfully built things in NYC on time, while simultaneously providing millions of dollars in tax revenue, seems like just the kind of lame brained move a drug-addled commie like De Blasio would pull. In 4 years NYC will be a ghost town thanks to Mayor Pothead and Don Cuomo.
