Admittedly, Trump was wrong for not immediately condemning the incursion on Jan. 6th, but he was quite clear in asking for a "peaceful" and "patriotic" demonstration by his supporters. However, Trump Derangement Syndrome is simply too powerful for de Blasio to overlook and as far as he's concerned, Donald Trump must be punished along with anyone who might take pleasure partaking in a pleasant day of ice skating in lieu of being home in lockdown.
The Trump Organization stated that the final day of operating the Wollman Rink and Lasker Rink at Central Park's northern end, will be next Sunday.
The rink contracts had been set to expire in April, but Communist de Blasio has moved to screw Trump out a month early, effective Feb. 26.
The Trump Organization is closing its doors after close of business on Sunday, so it will have time to pack up its belongings — including some 1,700 pairs of ice skates — and move out.
The Post reports that the city is terminating all four of its Trump Organization concession contracts.
"Trump has been impeached from operating the ice rink," a de Blasio mouthpiece quipped on Jan. 31 in announcing the concession terminations for Wollman Rink, along with Lasker Rink, the Central Park Carousel and Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point in the Bronx. This is cancel culture in action.
The move might annoy former President Trump, but it will put nearly 250 employees of his organization out of work, and suck the fun from kids who use the rinks. But hey, that's just collateral damage and de Blasio really doesn't care since he cannot be reelected for a third term in November.
"Despite our appeals to the City to allow us to continue operations through the duration of the skating season — which would not only save the jobs of nearly 250 individuals who work or otherwise provide services Wollman and Lasker Rinks, but also allow us to continue to provide the numerous public skating sessions and skating and hockey programs that we host on a daily basis — the City rejected our efforts," the Trump Organization told The Post in a statement.
"The city is saying in effect, ‘We don’t care if it destroys the skating season; we want you out now,'" Trump told The Post. "This is one of the only things that kids can do" for outdoor winter recreation, Eric Trump noted.
"De Blasio is now shutting down skating season while New York dies. It’s horribly sad," he said.
"The mayor is absolutely petty. This isn’t about us, this is about the people of the city who come here to skate and disabled kids who joined hockey teams and others who joined skating school and take lessons every week," Trump added.
The Trump Organization is appealing the contract terminations, including the city’s attempt to kick it out of the Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point, a contract worth millions and which has 18 more years left to run.
"If they terminate, they will owe us $35 million," Trump said.

But that isn't coming out of de Blasio's pockets, it's coming out of the city's coffers that hold the taxpayers' money.
