As closing arguments began in President Donald J. Trump’s civil fraud trial in Manhattan on Thursday, his name disappeared from a golf course in the Bronx that had long welcomed drivers to the borough with a large sign reading “TRUMP LINKS.”
The golf course is under new management, and Mayor Eric Adams attended a rebranding event on Thursday at the course, formerly known as the Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point. The new operator, Bally’s Corporation, revealed a new sign: “BALLY LINKS.”
The sign’s removal was another example of Trump’s withdrawal from New York City — the city he once called home and where he became a celebrity.
