New York City reviewing business relationships with Trump
By MATTHEW CHAYES AND EMILY NGO
Mayor Bill de Blasio said Wednesday that his administration is reviewing the city's business relationships with billionaire developer Donald Trump, who is under sustained fire for his presidential campaign speech suggesting criminals were rife among Mexicans who enter the country.
"We are reviewing Trump contracts with the city. Donald Trump's remarks were disgusting and offensive, and this hateful language has no place in our city," de Blasio, who is vacationing in New Mexico, said in a statement.
"Our Mexican brothers and sisters make up an essential part of this city's vibrant and diverse community, and we will continue to celebrate and support New Yorkers of every background," the statement said. Karen Hinton, a spokeswoman for the mayor, said she could not provide details of the review.

All of the Lib piling on will only increase his standing in the polls.
Wilhelm better watch his trap or Trump may emulate Rush and move to Florida
Lots less millions in taxes to redistribute among Wilhem’s Mexican brothers and sisters
Dems don’t want to run against the Donald.
The hits just keep on comin’.
Trump owes no one. No congressional deals. No sleeping with the enemy. H’s a worker....just like you and me. And just like you and me, silenced by PC....not.
Kooky de Blasio has already ticked off Hillary, Cuomo, and both levels of the Democratic Party.
And now he’s attacking Trump?
Is he deliberately trying to make enemies??
Move to Texas.
Wonder how NYC would fare without the tax income. A serious consideration I’m sure.
If the Donald can “keep it civil”, he’s got a good chance. His mouth is the only thing that could knock him out of contention. A great administrator is what this country desperately needs.
And a fighter - that's also what Trump does well. And a good negotiator. He's looking better all the time to me. And someone who's not PC, shoots straight.
If anyone wants to know what is happening to conservatives and “conservative sympathizers” in the US today need only read the history of the relationship between Germany and the Jews in the early 1030’s.
This sort of thing is in the spirit of the “early days”.
“his mouth” is why I like him, I am telling you folks this country is FED UP with ALL of the PC crap!!!!! “THE DONALD” is doing just fine the more the LIBS attack the more people WILL defend him!!!!!! I NEVER thought I would EVER defend Trump however I find myself SCREAMING GO DONALD!!!!!!
Seems to me that NYC needs Trump more than Trump needs NYC. Florida is calling, Donald!
The establishment is piling on Trump not so much for what he said but because most people are reacting positively to what he said. The elitists want to nip that in the bud.
“Our Mexican brothers and sisters make up an essential part of this city’s vibrant and diverse community...”
Uh, if they immigrated her legally, then they are AMERICANS. If they are Mexicans then they can go screw off if their feelings were hurt.
Trump’s lawyers are rubbing their hands with glee if NYC tries to screw with contracts they’ve signed with him.
He can use the payout to fund his run.
You can have a thousand “atta boys”, but it only takes one “ aw shit” to wipe ‘em out.
Want to see Trump pull out of NYC? Just watch...
I’m sure that Trump and his business interests have a positive economic impact on New York City. For them to reevaluate and revoke contracts and such, to make a political statement, will undoubtedly cost the city money.
Reminds me a bit of how Los Angeles voted to boycott Arizona when Arizona passed their law on illegal aliens. Then it was discovered that Los Angeles gets 25% of their electricity from Arizona. So the boycott was rescinded. The liberals on the L.A. City Council didn’t want to risk sitting with no AC during a hot summer, just to make their political statement.
