Topline: President Trump's New York City ice skating rinks have removed his name from their signage, reported the Washington Post, marking the first time the Trump Organization has downplayed its connection to the president-but nine other buildings have previously nixed Trump's name.
Key background: Trump's iconic skating rinks are located in the northern and southern ends of New York City's Central Park. But he doesn't own them. Instead, Trump leases them from the city, a long-held arrangement held over from when he took over their reconstruction in the '80s. Trump famously got the project done on time and under budget, the Post reported, helping to solidify him as a reputable businessman.
Tangent: Since Trump began his 2016 presidential campaign, his estimated net worth has dropped by $1.4 billion in Forbes' ranking of billionaires. Polarizing politics were partly behind the decline, costing Trump an estimated $200 million at last count.
