Shortly after Donald Trump launched his presidential campaign with comments denigrating Mexican immigrants, New York City began a review of its contracts with Trump-affiliated businesses to see if it could sever ties, and Mayor Bill de Blasio even stated publicly that the city was “not looking to do any business with him going forward.”
That review has concluded there is “no legal way to cancel these contracts,” a de Blasio administration spokesperson told Newsday. The most prominent deals between Trump interests and the city are a golf course in the Bronx, the Central Park carousel, and two skating rinks in the park.

Beeeeautttttiful
Priceless!!!
Trump wins AGAIN! Trump has it right. Politicians are stupid.
Starts off with a false premise?
Next book....
“The Art of the Government Contract”
LOL
Yes. Brazenly stupid.
Apparently, Mayor de Bloviater, et al, never heard “Dirty Harry” Callahan’s cautionary declaration: “A man’s got to know his limitations.”
I took that advice to heart the first time I heard it; and it has surely saved me much embarrassment and chagrin over the years. I still pull an occasional faux pas; but by the grace of God, I have not done it brazenly.
And if Trump hadn’t sued Univision for breaking their contract, NYC would be trying to break them whether it was legal or not.
They may not like Trump because they’re flaming liberals. But they respect him too much to break a contract.
They’re not immigrants!! they’re illegal alien hordes!!
And he didn’t denigrate anybody. Unless telling the truth is denigrating.
I feel like I’m living in some warped universe where up is down and left is right.
Never saw such a suicidal group of people as white Europeans and Americans.
Continuing corruption scandals in New York sank Mayor Bill de Blasio’s hopes of landing the 2016 Democratic presidential convention, according to party sources.
The Democratic National Committee announced Thursday that it had selected Philadelphia over the Big Apple for the party’s quadrennial convention in July 2016.
Flaunting the Barclays Center as a hip spot for the DNC wasn’t enough to convince committee heads to let NYC host the convention.
The decision was a blow to de Blasio, who pulled out all the stops to try to land the nominating convention — from dangling the Barclays Center in downtown Brooklyn as a hip venue to naming a high-powered host committee that pledged to raise millions to cover the bill.
One national Democratic Party source said the mayor’s efforts were overshadowed by US Attorney Preet Bharara’s intensive crackdown on corrupt elected officials, including Democrats such as former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.
“You have all these corruption cases,” said the source. “Do we want trials breaking next year during the convention? How many more political indictments are going to be coming up in New York?
“Do we want Shelly Silver’s trial coming up around the time of the convention? Corruption was a real issue. God knows who will get indicted next.”
When he announced Silver’s arrest last month, Bharara warned “Stay tuned” because more cases were in the federal pipeline.
The source said logistical issues also came up, since delegates would be staying in midtown Manhattan and would have had to trek to Brooklyn to nominate the next Democratic candidate for president.
The DNC decision is a coup for former Gov. Ed Rendell, a former DNC chair who had pushed the party to convene in the City of Brotherly Love.
Rendell was Philadelphia’s mayor from 1992 to 2000.
The Republican Party previously said it would hold its convention in Cleveland.
The mayor issued a statement, saying:
‘“New York City represents the future of America. We’re a city that’s working to lift up and unite every resident and ensure that all 8.4 million New Yorkers have the opportunity to succeed — not just the fortunate few. That core principle is what makes our City and our nation so great, and is why we fought so hard to bring the 2016 Democratic National Convention to the five boroughs.
Brooklyn is America’s greatest urban success story, which would have made it a great backdrop to nominate the next President of the United States. I’d like to thank the thousands of New Yorkers who lent their time, energy and resources to support our effort.”’
Trump thinking ahead about the retaliation by the New York Communists when he runs for Pres.
Nothing but politics. If doing business with Trump was bad, they should have tried to do something about it a long time ago, not at the moment when Trump is high in the polls.
Imagine what Trump would do with treaty negotiations?
I think he will have trouble getting us out of some of the stupid things we’ve agreed to. But if anyone can get us out, Trump can.
ROFL
Actually that wouldn’t be a bad ideal. Give advice regarding dealing with government morons. =)
“...denigrating...”
-
Isn’t that a racist word?
You can bet by way of code enforcement, Union bullies and obscure regulation they will harass his contractors costing him millions.
Payback could be a bitch for NYC when President Trump cancels all federal government contracts with NYC.
tee hee
