Trump Could Soon Lose His New York City Golf Course Due to the Insurrection
When he lost the election in November of 2020, Donald Trump could have taken the defeat with grace. Instead, he threw one of the great tantrums in American history, using Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell to plead his case.
And when all else failed, the former president incited an insurrection on the United States capitol. Those actions led to him being banned from major social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. He was also nearly convicted, with 7 Republican senators voting to impeach him. And now, Trump may lose a golf course in New York City.
Days after the January 6th insurrection, New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio pulled the license from Trump’s golf course at Ferry Point Park in the Bronx. De Blasio said at the time, “The City of New York will not be associated with those unforgivable acts in any shape, way or form.”
Trump’s lawyers have appealed the decision and it is still being fought out in the courts. According to CNN:
“The potential loss of the Ferry Point business to the Trump Organization comes at a time when the hotel industry suffered from the pandemic but golf course operators have seen their revenues bolstered as players took to the greens as a safe way to exercise and socialize. According to court filings, Ferry Point brought in over $8 million in revenue for the first 10 months of the year, above its pre-pandemic revenues of $7.28 million over the same period in 2019.”
