CBC interviewed him (I think it was his sister-in-law) and she was basically trying to get him to talk shit about Trump, and he said lots of good things about how Trump got the Central Park Hockey Rink fixed with his own money when nobody else would do it.

Fixed it quickly, for less money, after years of gov't waste and mismanagement.

Having fallen into utter disrepair during the New York City fiscal crisis, unable to make ice, the city’s Parks Department embarked on a total refurbishment of the facility in 1980, estimating it would take two years to complete. After six years and having flushed $13 million down the drain, the city announced they would have to start all over again and it would another two years to complete. Wollman Rink had quite visibly failed. The Wollman Rink fiasco amplified the public perception of the general incompetence of government and their inability to complete even the simplest projects.
