From Newsday:
Donald Trump and state parks officials have killed the developer's proposed and controversial $24-million Jones Beach catering hall-restaurant because of extensive damage to the park from superstorm Sandy.
Trump and parks commissioner Rose Harvey said Wednesday that they agreed to cancel Trump on the Ocean because its design, including a full basement, no longer made sense on the beachfront with the prospect of future storms like the one that hit Oct. 29.
The decision wipes out hope of what Trump had predicted would be 500 permanent jobs, as well as rent payments the state estimated would total $13 million over his 40-year lease. It also ended a six-year saga of litigation and renegotiation. Trump and the state agreed in June to a compromise that ended the court battle, and construction was slated for 2013.
Parks officials still hope to build something on the site of the former Boardwalk Restaurant at the Central Mall, but acknowledge they will have to start from scratch after repairing the storm damage.

Either the "News" or the "Post" featured a great front page regarding "The Donald", and his cheaply fitted oversized ego:
I believe the headline read, "Sandy trumps Donald"!
I can't beat that one. Can anybody?
I rest any further comment I might have had.
The ice-skaters at TRUMP-WOLLMAN rink at Central Park /E.63 Street ,NYC are having fun . Thanks to the "DONALD'S" quick repair of the coolant problem that the progressive dolts in the Koch Adm. caused, for five years.
Thank you Mr. Trump ,a former Queens resident.
Feed him to the sharks!
Bill the big schmuck for the replacement cost of the restaurant that was razed to feed his ego!

LOL!
"Son Of A Beach", my hat's off to you!
That sheepish smile on "The Donald's" face, suggests that he just took a wicked dump and there was no toilet paper in the John.
LOL!
Quick...hand the man a roll before he has to resort to using his upraised hands.
Let's be honest about what probably happened here, after declaring multiple bankruptcies Trump is now a front for those who actually hold his ass-etts.
THEY have decided that global warming may actually be true.
Thus no more money for Donald's project.
It must kill him to kowtow like that.
Good.
