NYC Council Hopes To Tell Trump Organization, 'You're Fired'

NEW YORK CITY — A New York City Council member hopes to use Donald Trump's catchphrase on the president and tell him, "You're fired."

A new resolution from Manhattan Democrat Mark Levine, introduced to City Council Thursday, would have New York end its four contracts with the Trump Organization.

"President Trump is an embarrassment to New York," said Speaker Corey Johnson, throwing support behind the proposal. "He is a very bad person, he's a crook, he's a criminal...I think it's an exciting bill."

If passed, the bill would direct Mayor de Blasio not to renew the Trump Organization’s four contracts running the Central Park Carousel, two skating rinks and The Bronx's Trump Golf Links.

Levine's resolution argues the contracts violate the Domestic Emoluments Clause of the Constitution which forbids presidents from receiving income from a government to avoid conflicts of interest.

The non-binding resolution also points to Attorney General Letitia James' successful $2 million lawsuit against the Trump Foundation and Wollman Rink Operation's $196,000 debt to the city Parks Department.

"Donald Trump’s organizations have a history of violating state and federal laws and defrauding the City," the resolution reads. "The City of New York should not contract with any organization that is linked with the President of the United States."

This move comes one day after the House of Representatives voted to impeach Trump on charges that he abused his office by seeking dirt against former Vice President Joe Biden then tried to cover it up.

Earlier this year, the Wollman Rinks removed Trump's name in an attempt to distance the businesses from the president's name, the Washington Post reported in October.

The Bronx contract expires in 2032 and the three Central Park contracts expire in 2021, according to the resolution.

Levine told the New York Daily News, first to report on the bill, that mistrust of the Trump Organization spurred him to present the legislation.

“The Trump Organization is a company that is deeply entangled in a criminal conspiracy." Levine reportedly said. “It’s just a matter of profound offense to most New Yorkers that our city has given four lucrative Parks concessions to the Trump Organization.”
