Maybe they can name the first one Don Don.
The organizers of a campaign to open a panda pavilion in Central Park have reached out to Donald Trump’s sons for help, The Post has learned.
Billionaire former mayoral candidate John Catsimatidis, a co-chair of the effort, said he spoke to a representative from the Trump Organization about Donald Jr. and Eric Trump joining the push to import two breedable pandas from China.
Catsimatidis said the younger Trumps could help make the project a reality the way daddy Donald stepped in and rebuilt the park’s Wollman Rink in the 1980s.
“What I’d say to Eric is, ‘You’d be doing for the panda project what your father did with the Wollman Rink. Can you build a panda facility that follows in the footsteps of your father?’ ” Catsimatidis said.
“Maybe the Trump Organization will build it for half the price, the way Donald did the Wollman Rink for half the price,” he quipped.
The group’s goal is to have private funding cover the entire cost of the multimillion-dollar project.
A fund-raiser at the Waldorf-Astoria on Feb. 8, a k a the Panda Ball, is expected to raise anywhere from $500,000 to $4 million, sources said.
The panda campaign has bipartisan support.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Manhattan-Queens) has pushed the project for years, joining GOPer Catsimatidis and state Republican Party Chairman Ed Cox.
Other notable fans include Chinese TV personality Yue-Sai Khan and insurance honcho Maurice “Hank” Greenberg.
Still, the Trumps’ involvement with anything connected to China could be complicated.
President Trump has been saber-rattling at China, alleging unfair trade practices. The new commander-in-chief has also irked Chinese officials by establishing communications with Taiwan and criticizing the Communist country’s aggressive taking of islands in the South China Sea.
The Trump Organization had no comment on the request for the president’s sons to join the panda project.
Sources said the younger Trumps are trying to “lay low” as they run the far-flung Trump empire in the absence of their father, who handed them the reins while he is running the White House.
Catsimatidis, who is weighing another run for mayor, said the panda project is gathering momentum, and that no one should disagree on the appeal of the adorable, black-and-white furry creatures.
The plan is to construct the Panda Pavilion in the less-trafficked northern section of Central Park.
