New York. The city of New York wants to terminate its business contracts with US President Donald Trump. The reason was the uprising of Trump supporters at the Capitol in Washington last week, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Wednesday.
In accordance with an agreement with the City of New York, the Trump Organization operates two ice rinks and a carousel in Central Park and a golf course in the Bronx. The company earns about $ 17 million a year, according to de Blasio.

“I’m here to announce that the City of New York will terminate all contracts with the Trump Organization,” he said.
Five fatalities
During the violent riots in and around the congress building on January 6, hundreds of the president’s supporters broke into the parliamentarians’ offices and some of the inventory was damaged and destroyed.
The event was seen by many as an attack on democracy, namely by a mob that Trump personally incited beforehand at a rally. Five people were killed.
Because of the allegations against the president, the sports association for golfers in the USA, PGA of America, recently stated that the PGA Championship would not take place on Trump’s golf course in New Jersey in 2022.
A UK golf association also said the Open Championship would not be played on its courses for the foreseeable future and Shopify, an e-commerce company, has stopped supporting Trump’s online sales.
Act against the Constitution
When the city of New York considered terminating the business dealings with Trump, de Blasio justified this by saying that the president had incited a rebellion against the US government. This is a clear act against the constitution. “That is not to be forgiven.”
The blows against Trump’s economic empire are part of the left “Cancel Culture”, however, said his son Eric of the AP news agency on Tuesday. His father would hand over the presidency with a powerful brand in his back, supported by millions of voters who would follow him “to the end of the world”.
In the era of the “cancel culture”, people like the Trumps and others were ceaselessly attacked, criticized Eric, who took over the family business with his brother Donald Jr. when Trump senior became president four years ago. “If you don’t agree with them, if they don’t like you, they try to cancel you.”
“Cancel Culture” – term controversial
The controversial term “Cancel Culture” means, among other things, the boycott of people or companies who, in the opinion of their critics, have the wrong political opinion or have allegedly acted politically and socially reprehensible.
Most serious for President Trump, several banks reportedly stopped doing business with the Trump Organization. This should include one of its largest donors, Deutsche Bank.
“We witnessed how the President of the United States encouraged insurgents and refused to call the National Guard to protect Congress in its duty,” said New York Signature Bank, which broke with Trump.
