A city is looking for offers to operate a skating rink. It is a premise as a pedestrian as a parks and recreation episode, news that may not even obtain a press release, not to mention a story of newspapers, in a normal city in normal circumstances.

This time, however, the city is New York, whose mayor Eric Adams has just got rid of a federal indictment by concluding an apparent agreement with the President of the United States to expel immigrant residents of the city.

Bidd up for the rink? Presidents Real Estate Company, the Trump organization, which exploited the skating rink from 1986 to 2021, before being stripped of the contract after the riot of January 6. The company's executive vice-president said: We have managed it well for decades and we plan to start again.

The date of the city's request for proposals? November 13, eight days after Donald won the victory during the presidential election. And even it could be business as usual, except that as a local guard dog that the city revealed this month, New York had just been offered a 120 million dollars gift from the conservation of a non-profit central park to replace the ice rink and repair the surrounding infrastructure. The parks service refused the offer in order to request tenderers in the private sector. Now reports the city, the Trump organization is lobbying aggressively Adams to recover the ice.

Obviously, the mayor hopes to make a quid pro quo, or at least arouse this possibility, told me a former senior New York official. It's so dirty in all directions, it is difficult to believe that they could get away with it. It's naked, blatant, Macys-Window-At-High-No Corruption.

Asked about this issue on March 17, Adams replied that journalists would have been scandalized if the city had received the contract at the Conservancy as part of a rear contract. But it would not have been unusual for the department of New York Parks to accept the donation of non -profit investment and stewardship in a single source agreement before requesting offers.

The Central Park Conservancy makes a similar reconstruction of the parks of other rinks, in Harlem. Prospect Park Alliance directs the beloved skating rink of Brooklyns; Other New York parks have their own non -profit benefactors, a model that, whatever you thought, emerged in the 1980s with the Bryant Park Corporation, a non -profit business improvement district whose management of the park in difficulty has been copied by organizations that now supervise other public spaces in NYC, including Union Square and Washington Square Park.

Some police expressed their doubts about the choices of cities. The president of the Manhattan district, Mark Levine, and the member of the board Shekar Krishnan wrote in Adams last month, expressing a deep concern concerning the supply process, noting that the proposal rejected by Conservancys was extremely exciting and convincing. In any event, they urge: Trump's name cannot be on Central Park.

You might think that the potus would have more important problems in his mind that leading a frozen pond in Midtown. But Wollman Rink is a fundamental element of Trump's myth. In 1980, the beloved rink was closed for repairs. Six years and 13 million dollars later, it was still not over, and the renovation had become a fiasco that seemed to embody the Americans who made the government could do things. In a vacuum, a young Donald Trump, who took costs from the city to hire an entrepreneur to finish the rinkaccoming in six months which the city could not do in six years.

It was an important moment for Trump, a little self-promotion disguised as philanthropy that he exercised for years to hide a remarkable lack of civic contributions, for a man of his means. He invoked the saga during the Iowa 2015 caucus, as if a renovation of several decades of a rink could be a relevant experience for work.

The triumph also marked its transition from another nepo real estate baby to a celebrity of colossal tabloids who keeps, bombed, that he can manage the government better than any politician, as David Freedlander said in 2015.

For Marc Dunkelman, the author of why nothing works: who killed progress and how to bring it back, the episode sums up both the handed over the democratic city (a large part of the New York ineptus came from an anti-Greffe law which prevented an entrepreneur from managing the whole process) and the lasting call of Trump to his voters. They like this notion that he will not allow someone to say, these are the rules, and you cannot work in front of them, he told me.

I promised my dying mother that I always take care of my sister. Uh, I don't think I can do that. Donald Trump gets very bad advice on Luigi Mangione people to use it to pay for cold bins and to store money for retirement. It started as something else. Trump asks the Supreme Court to let him have black sites

In 2002, when television producer Mark Burnett was looking for a magnate to play in his reality TV show, he invoked the Savior of the Rinko Butter Up A Watching Trump. Soon, Trump was on Nbcs The Apprentice, and developer Brah New York became a national television star.

Ironically, it was not Bill de Blasio who removed the name of Trumps from the skating rink, but the Trump organization itself. In the fall of 2019, Trump's name disappeared from the two central skating rinks. Speculation at the time was that Trump's name was so toxic to the heart of the dark blue manhatting, that was lost to the rinks.

But if there is one more important thing for Donald Trump than making money, he takes revenge. Hell needs more than Eric Adams to recover his skating rink: any winning offer should be approved by the City Franchise and Examination Committee. As Greg Smith notes it for the City, the authorization will force a municipal committee to neglect the conviction of the company in 2022 for criminal tax fraud and a decision of the civil court in 2024, concluding that the organization had engaged in years of fraudulent activities.

Technically, the winning tenderer must have a satisfactory recording of the integrity of companies. There, the Trump organization can be on thin ice.
