You people are insanely stupid. He's a spoiled rotten born loser, He took his daddies 400 million $ fortune and has screwed people over and gone bankrupt 6 times over the last 40 years and still made less money than if he would of put it in a low risk investment. Or are you one of the complete fools who believe he only got a 1 million dollar loan from his father and paid it back?

Who's here reading 'the art of the deal' and wants to illuminate there minds upon seeing this video?. Damn Trump is so amazing I don't know why people hate him. so sad, they didn't pay heed to what Trump giving them, like as a whole- people are soo stupid, mostly. and they don't deserve Donald Trump.

[@jaykauf9801]

The reason "they" hate him is because he is NOT one of them. They hated him as president because he would not join their club of corrupt political cronies and the knew they then couldn't trust him simply because he would NOT join their club. Notice BOTH the democrats and many republicans hated him. The democrats hating him was to be expected. The republicans that hated him were all establishment RINOS anyways. I could see that one coming a mile away. Trump is a walking talking billboard taking no excuses for failure kid of guy. Trump was not just disliked by the establishment form BOTH parties................he was genuinely HATED. That is pure evil in of itself. If he runs in 2024, If there is any country left to save by then, he will do it in less than 2 years. But, in order for him to do it this time, the democrats and the RINOS need to be exposed and removed. Equally crucial to any Trump success again is the exposure and elimination of ALL the corrupt media too. The mainstream media is beyond redemption. 99% of them need to be totally eliminated. That goes for big tech too and ironically enough, that includes the owners of this channel too.

[@enzodellacorte7826]

Trump shared this story differently, he said he went to the Montreal canadiens for help for the ice, he said he knew the owner personally and the Montreal canadiens helped him build that rink

[@lifeskater9899]

that rink' was built in the 50's. He didn't build it, he repaired it.

[@EyeAmSoul]

I read "Art of the Deal" and Ivanka was still a little girl and she's like daddy can I go skating, when are they going to fix the ice skating rink?

[@curtisthomas3598]

To think the people of New York city don't appreciate him

[@lifeskater9899]

His father refused to rent to Blacks, Trump's "opinion" against the CP5 (that almost blew the city up), stiffed contractors who built Trump Tower, tried to force a Senior from her home in Atlantic City because he wanted to build a parking lot on her property, etc. What about him was to appreciate? Those of us who either were born, raised, worked either in Manhattan, or the 5 boroughs know exactly what he's all about. The rink? He only repaired it so he could slap his name on it.

[@danL1011]

[What about him was to appreciate?] Apparently a lot. So much so that people make videos about Trump's good deeds before running for president. Here's just one of many you can find. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIPSmIuKe9mji8U

[@lifeskater9899]

There are deadbeats in every race. Not all of us Blacks are deadbeats; i.e., Foreclosure knows no race; it can happen to anyone.Trump's racist record speaks for itself, starting with his father. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. His (father) not renting to Blacks caused him to be sued for deliberate discrimination, not because they were deadbeats.Since when did NATO countries pay for that tower??Elderly Widow in Atlantic City: www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/the-time-donald-trumps-empire-took-on-a-stubborn-widow--and-lost/2015/09/09/f9cb287e-5660-11e5-b8c9-944725fcd3b9_story.html?noredirect=onSorry about your being mugged, wouldn't wish that on anyone. However, Central Park's no joyride. Wollman Rink: Ok, his name's not on it, however,The Wollman Rink is currently operated by the Trump Organization, whose contract is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2021. Operated by a private organization, aka Trump. I volunteered as a Skating Instructor for Figure Skating in Harlem, who held their annual fundraiser "Skating With the Stars" there. Minute Trump became president, that event was no longer held there; it's now a non-skating event. Interesting.How this thread shifted from How this Iconic skating rink....to going off on a tangent about street/route names, is beyond belief...but then, Repubs love shifting/deflecting from the subject.You're entitled to your opinion, with every due respect. My opinion about Trump still stands.

[@chris187720cs]

+SkaterForLife Gordon you do realize that Feed Trump refused her a couple of months before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was even signed and the lady who sued him didn't even want to checkout the place she was applying for.......so tell me what was her agenda because they could have rented her out a maintenance closet for an apartment? What got need to do is research the whole story and not the rumors.

[@lifeskater9899]

Christopher Schneider: Discrimination petition against Trump was filed in 1973-after the CRA. Those of us who were either born, lived, educated, worked, commuted to/from NYC back in the '70's, through the '80's and beyond, knew exactly what he was all about. "They could've rented her a maintenance closet?" what makes you think that would've been acceptable-would you like it if same were offered to you? www.clearinghouse.net/chDocs/public/FH-NY-0024-0034.pdf

Adrian Benepe, then the Parks Department's spokesperson and later its commissioner, stated the project was largely complete by the time Trump entered the picture, and that the city, not Trump, had paid the contractors for the actual reconstruction.

actually Gingrich told a different story than what Trump shared, Trump was a personal friend of the Montreal Canadiens, and they sent somebody to new York to help fix the problem!

[@danL1011]

EDC: Gingrich told a different story than what Trump shared Not really. [Trump was a personal friend of the Montreal Canadiens...] If you are friends with the owner of a hockey team and you don't know anything about fixing skating rinks, who do you call first to find out who does? Their stories are consistent. The difference is merely in the details omitted.

[@sandytaylor2377]

Trump has always known how to delegate responsibility to those who know what they are doing. Who better to call on to fix a skating rink than a friend affiliated with a hockey team? Obama's problem was that he filled his "cabinet" with people from academia, textbook "experts", NOT experts at actually doing things. Those who can, DO, those who can't, TEACH!

[@SonySamtron]

"This project doesn't matter to him financially" Well duh. He knows he's gonna take 100x back from fraud, so this is the simplest investment to fool people into thinking he only wants what's best for them.

[@thegoyzilla1]

Lest we forget he convinced a NYC contractor to do the work for free, with the promise they would get publicity for the work done. When it was completed, Trump took all of the congratulations with no mention of the contractor.

[@reefslayer21]

You know the contractor did the work for free right? But you wouldn’t know that because he didn’t give him the recognition

[@sandytaylor2377]

If that is true, does it matter? Trump is taking flack for being the president and doing it for FREE, too. He donates his "salary" to various causes, NOT going into HIS bank account. His daughter and son-in-law are also doing their jobs for NO pay. He gave up his life of luxury to be harassed by people like you and everybody on the left and even people on the right, who are jealous that he beat them and is showing the world what "do-nothings" Congressmen and women really are! Would you do that for no pay? The bottom line is, he made it happen, in less time than the contract called for AND under budget. He took NO money for getting the rink up and running and has never taken a penny for it.

They left out the details on how he promised contractors free publicity in exchange for doing free labor. Of course, they were completely stiffed. No publicity & no fees.

[@sandytaylor2377]

Well, he's doing the job of the presidency and getting no recognition and all bad publicity from the media and the rest of the left, yet accomplishing some very important things, despite all the pushback from the left, and doing it for free, donating his presidential salary. Would you do that? No, I think not. You couldn't handle the job, much less all the hatred that he gets from the opposition.
