Wollman Rink is one of the most delightful spots in Manhattan. You skate in the park with the hustle and bustle of the streets outside Central Park as a background and one can look at at the high rises among the trees. Back in my youth, Wollman Rink was shut down for renovation and of course the NYC government botched the job. Trump stepped in and renovated the rink in a matter of weeks using his own money. What Trump did was a great service to the public.

I am shocked this happened, and that it happened so quickly. Good news for New York. Better news would be a new Mayor...

Wollman Rink is much nicer than ice skating at Rockefeller Center. I took the family skating at Rockefeller as it was disappointing. The ice surface is horrible and there are too many people for the small rink.

They just won’t shut down immediately to save this season. Kicking out Trump is still the plan

He knows that if he gives the concession to one of his cronies, it will be an utter fustercluck, and Trump will look good by comparison and he will look like the idiot he truly is.

Wilhelm, of course, couldn’t allow anything positive to be associated with the name Trump. But surprise, surprise, even a$$hole politicians with fake Italian names have to cave to public pressure.

Now the world knows they’re TRUMP ice rinks!
Here in Ohio, I never even wondered who owned them.
Good job, Mayor.

I give it a year and Seattle’s CHOP Zone will look like a botanical garden by comparison.

De Blasio can’t make the “staring you in the face” correct decision about the remaining SIX WEEKS of a simple ice skating rink contract on his first try. He needs a mulligan. Yet he is responsible for the decisions on a daily basis that will affect New Yorkers for years to come. When our founding fathers established our republic, surely they never imagined that citizens would elect morons like De Blasio and Coumo.

DeBlasio is still an idiot. He’s ruined NYC.

There is a $150 million dollar renovation scheduled for the area. Soon to balloon up in price. Maybe Trump can help out again?
