I don’t know why this makes me think of Action Park. Look it up.

NYC Is Cutting Ties With Trump…

It’s about time somebody cut his ties. They are ridiculously long.

This is part of the trend that will see financial ruin for Trump and his businesses.

It seems fewer and fewer people want to be associated with an epically toxic crime family these days.

As LBJ used to say, “When you’ve lost Bill Belichick, you’ve lost America.” How deflating.

I’m glad it has just now come to light, for everyone to see and act on it, that Trump is a lying, grifting criminal. It’s too bad we all didn’t know this months or years ago.

Long overdue; I remember the praise he got for restoring Wollman Rink many years ago. Apparently, you can fool some of the people all of the time…

I can imagine a similar response from Jr. and Eric about this.

The Democratic mayor anticipated that the company will put up a fight in court against the city’s decision…

In the past, Trump has bludgeoned those who opposed his business dealings with the sheer power of lawsuits or threats of legal action. Those of lesser means ended up either settling or giving up because they could ill afford the legal fees required to fight him.

Now he will be facing the DoJ, State of NY, and deep pocketed corporations who can afford attorneys to take him down and are anxious to do so.

It will turn out that winning the Presidency was the worst thing that could happen to the Trump financial “empire”. Which is only fitting since it’s the worst thing to ever happen to the U.S. Presidency.

Without the $10 billion at which Trump valued his brand, I’m guessing his net worth is going to be about $1.98. Not even enough for a hamberder, the poor dear.

Indeed. Perhaps they’re aware enough to realize that a Trump unchained is a Trump who will incriminate himself further. “Not sure that what I did on Jan. 6 was clearly criminal? Well, just watch me now!!!”
