Some folks wanted a "business "man"" and when they got one... shock! A lying, cheating, narcissistic, vague language abusing fool. Yup bm

Gotta pull that trump card
dedpaen
One of the clauses was that he host a national tournament. Oh wait, the PGA just barred him FOR LIFE from hosting any.
D3rpLici0us
Cannabis is gonna bring in way more money than Trump.
PrinceOfWhales
Everything about the Trump family needs to be cancelled, then burnished into history as the textbook definition of losers.
krisiteenie56
We are on that track. Donnie isn't going to be able to do anything but stare at a wall soon

Trump says he hates NY anyways....

Whenever I see this gif I always mean to ask what's got him so amused? I don't think I've seen the whole thing in context before.

Thank you kind person. Greenshirtguy!
OsirisX1
He has completely destroyed what is left of the Trump brand. Kinda like his businesses in steaks, casinos, vodka, etc...
DuckPlanetKing
Why didn’t they do it before? Wasn’t the orange turd supposed to divest from his businesses?
Bobcorps
Probably not enough ground. Now they have a solid one.
ITryToOnlyRespondInGifs
The real question is why should this cancellation even affect him? He said he was divested....was he lying?! Say it ain’t so
TerrorOmelette
This.
htapoicosilus
Look how tiny his hands are!
AngryGraphicDesigner
Nice start!

Should have stopped when trump was running out of principle/ emoluments.

GAREWA
His hands really do look tiny there.
Gaiashining
Really annoying that in the U.K. the news keeps calling it riots. Call it what it was.
Selfawerewolf
Anyone else find it weird that there were contracts in place with a sitting president in the first place? How does that one square?
davebeastly
Lookit dem lil gloves.
DeeDoubleYu
He broke the law, it got him banned, him glove to big for he got dam hand!

I was looking for this - his hands look so teeny tiny. HAHA

About fkn time de Blasio did something of merit.
CrazierConspiraciesThanTrump
Can we just be honest about two things. One hes going to "Sell"/rename his businesses. Two unless he goes to prison. He won't care
TheVampireDante
Have to shift to multiple shell companies to run proxy deals through, any of the places dropping him gets a whiff of his involvement 1/2
TheVampireDante
in a transaction they'll likely drop it again, making the entire setup useless. Heh, he'd have to start over each time... 2/2
greenf1sh
On the former, his name has the stigma attached to it, and he is far too egotistical to have a business not have his name on it.
CrazierConspiraciesThanTrump
Unfortunately. Hiring lobbyists can literally fox his issue. Which in itself is bullshit
ThatTransformersDude
Rightly so, a good example is he still has a presidential channel and refuses to use it because his personal twitter account is banned

BurnieCinders
Heard it here first. I'm an Aussie doing Aussie things in Australia.
kunkuno
not american here, how many do they need?
Majskornsuperstar
217 ?
kunkuno
nice
Unklejrad
Fuckin ridiculous that there was only 10 republicans too, should have been unanimous.
NotaCPA
here's the thing. The ones who are retiring, or not running again, swap votes, with people who want to vote to impeach, but can now safely 2
NotaCPA
vote to keep trump in and not upset their idiot constituents. I suspect 10 is the max number of people retiring, or not running again. 3
NotaCPA
otherwise, it would be a solid 1/2 of the republicans available.
Unklejrad
Literally 0 excuse to not vote to put on a trial an insurrectionist, you are part of the insurrection if you do not imo
Lulabel73
They’re scared of their own supporters.
Unklejrad
Then they need to grow some balls
NotaCPA
exactly
ConstipatedVirgin
I’m sure there is a “no treason” clause
bashshell
there still time :)
Strangedays2026
Well reps wanted at will employment, so they should understand that you don't need a reason to get rid of someone.
isetprettygirlsonfire
Going to add one to all my contracts
CaptainThePirate
It’s those work fire clauses where you can be fired for any treason.
DocWino
The important word here is contract. Let’s see how it plays out.
TheS4ndm4n
Close. There a "no criminal conduct" clause.
IAmAnthonyStark
Even better, that makes it nice, clear, and easy
aifeloadawildmoss
Then the contracts probably shd have been cancelled years ago ?
DocWino
He would have to be tried and convicted.
TheS4ndm4n
Nope. Being charged is enough. See how fast actors and athletes lose sponsors when they get caught. Long before they see a courtroom.
emjay9010
What does an "annual city" contract actually entail and wtf does it entail that's worth 17mil?
DatDarthCaedus
"De Blasio said the Trump Organization earns about $17 million a year in profits from its contracts to run two ice skating rinks 1/
DatDarthCaedus
and a carousel in Central Park as well as a golf course in the Bronx." according to ABC News
emjay9010
Cheers for that, thank ye. :)
wolf387465
the central park one is covered in the netflix document appropriately kept in the mafia section...
IrrationalNumber
Kind of like how all Apple ToSs have a "not for use in constructing weapons of mass destruction" clause
Wangero
Make sure to read the “human centipede clause”
FnordGallop
Also it's not to be used on nuclear submarines.
ciaran13
Linux it is

IIRC this is stated to satisfy international shipping rules.

Whatdoyousaytoanicecupoftea
...but that's not important right now
DukeDarkwood
Go with the Physics angle: If you are destroying something that has mass, it's a weapon of mass destruction.
brotherblue
Can you destroy mass itself?
DukeDarkwood
No; at most, you turn it into energy. But I cleverly avoided that by specifying "something that has mass", not mass itself.
arednecksquirel
Hmmm conservation of mass and energy..... I guess everything up to a nuke is fair game since only that destroys some mass
DukeDarkwood
That's why I carefully worded it with "destroying something that has mass". The object is still destroyed. Its mass... redistributed.

God damnit. I knew I should have read the bloody ToS.

Say what you will about them, but until down he wasn't cheering an insurrection

He was calling for one tho.

This is what my inner monologue appends to the end of every groups' statement about cutting ties with Trump.

In NYs defense they have been trying to get out of contracts with him for almost 5 years now

We don't do business with insurrectionists, but we're fine with white nationalist rapists.
Nuttburger

prettydumb
well, yes, this kicked it up about 9000 notches bud
Xenarion
Yup. There's a wave of people bailing on him, so companies join the wave because they see it's the most advantageous move. They still >
Xenarion
> dealt with him and often supported him during all the bullshit that lead to this.
IAmAnthonyStark
Agreed. They get a tiny amount of stock back since they at least have a line...but this is way too late.
SkyeSharpe
I agree fundamentally, but better late than never. At least once he's out of office, his brand is now toxic.
Xenarion
Sadly a lot of damage has been done to society. The racist, hateful people are now united and feel more justified.
SkyeSharpe
I know, but at least they did *something*, at *some point.* Better that then silent complicity through the Biden administration.
loma45
Trump has always been shitty, but he hasn't really been an insurrectionist until pretty recently.
vowofloudness
"Recently" meaning 2016: https://www.cnn.com/2016/10/20/politics/donald-trump-i-will-totally-accept-election-results-if-i-win/index.html
loma45
From your article: "Of course, I would accept a clear election result, but I would also reserve my right to contest or file a legal 1/2

challenge in the case of a questionable result". He was still saying he'd play by the rules at that time. 2/2
sundaymondayhippyday
Perfect gaslighting- I always play fear, I mean fair....
vowofloudness
Yeah, and he still says he's playing by the rules right now. Do you think he is?
