Donald Trump To Hang David Blaine Over His Skating Rink For 60 Hours

Donald Trump is proud to bring us another chance to see David Blaine be very still for a long period of time. Starting September 22, Blaine will hang upside down for 60 hours from a wire over the Wollman skating rink in Central Park, with the help of electromagnetic boots. Trump, who owns the rink, somehow convinced ABC to air an hour-long prime-time special covering the stunt on the 24th. How? Magic!

During the self-inflicted ordeal, Blaine will only pull himself up to “restore circulation” and drink liquids—which he’ll be disposing of with a catheter. “I stopped eating about a week ago, so I dropped about twenty pounds, which makes it easier on the body,” says Blaine. “I don’t have to go to the bathroom number two.” He hopes his public hanging will encourage the idea that “we can turn our world upside down, but we can still endure because human beings are amazing.” This is also why Trump wears a mullet.
