A report from the Washington Post says the company has not offered a reason for removing the president’s name
Donald Trump appears to be getting the cold shoulder from his own ice skating rinks, after the Trump organization reportedly took the unusual step of removing the president’s name from the two Central Park businesses ahead of the holiday season.
First reported by the Washington Post, city officials said the decision to remove Trump’s name in recent weeks was taken by the Trump organization but that the company has not offered a reason. His company still owns the skating rinks, which is among his oldest businesses, but it’s the first time Trump’s own organization has attempted to downplay the connection between the president and his businesses.
It is that time of the year. The Trump Wollman Skating Rink is open to the public in Central Park. The greatest ice rink in the country.

A white tarp used to hide the Trump name wasn’t quite big enough for the job, so a “T” still sticks out. By the formidable team of @pbump & @Fahrenthold https://t.co/gTk3QISs37
