NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump has taken issue with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plan to paint “Black Lives Matter” in giant letters on the street in front of Trump’s namesake Manhattan tower.

Trump tweeted Thursday that de Blasio “wants to paint the fabled & beautiful Fifth Avenue, right in front of Trump Tower/Tiffany, with a big yellow Black Lives Matter sign.”
““Pigs in a Blanket, Fry ’Em Like Bacon”, referring to killing Police, is their chant. NYC Police are furious!” his tweet said.
But that has not in fact been a common chant at protests in New York or elsewhere since the death of George Floyd one month ago in Minneapolis.
City Hall officials announced Wednesday that the “Black lives matter,” rallying cry would be painted in bold letters on the street in front of the president’s midtown skyscraper.
“The president is a disgrace to the values we cherish in New York City,” de Blasio spokesperson Julia Arredondo said. “He can’t run or deny the reality we are facing, and any time he wants to set foot in the place he claims is his hometown, he should be reminded Black Lives Matter.”
De Blasio announced earlier this month that the city would paint “Black Lives Matter” on streets at locations around the city. The first such block-long message was put on a street in Brooklyn. The announcement follows the move by officials in Washington, D.C., to paint the slogan in enormous yellow letters on the street leading to the White House.
Arredondo said work will start in the coming week on the mural in front of Trump Tower, which was not on the city’s original list of locations.
Trump lived in Trump Tower before he took office as president but has spent little time there since. He changed his official residence to Florida last year. His business empire is still headquartered there.
Sue the mayor for harrasment.
Fellow jews please paint in front of De-Blassio house and gracie mansion #jewishlivesmatter
How about if we paint diBlasio is a jerk I front of Gracie Mansion and in front of his Park Slope home or his gym that he frequents.
hang up banners on all bridges ALL LIVES MATTER……………………………
This country has gotten so sick. In case you missed it, Unilever is going to stop using the word “whitening” on all their products, like teeth whitening and all their products that have the word whitening on them.
If it wasn’t wasting NYC taxpayer money, I wouldn’t care: let these two idiots taunt each other.
They should paint “Black Lives Matter!” in front of Planned Parenthood abortion mills; they kill more blacks in EVERY month than the KKK lynched in their entire existence.
PS – from that article:
“ ““Pigs in a Blanket, Fry ’Em Like Bacon”, referring to killing Police, is their chant. NYC Police are furious!” his tweet said.
But that has not in fact been a common chant at protests in New York or elsewhere since the death of George Floyd one month ago in Minneapolis.””
How can VosIzNeias publish this drivel?
AP IS LYING, since “ACAB” which stands for “All Cops Are B*stards” and “KILL THE COPS” have been scrawled on walls everywhere and shouted out at all these riots for week.
“DEBLASIO and ASSOCIATED PRESS are a disgrace to the JEWISH values we VosIzNeias READERS cherish in New York City.”
/fixed it.
Trump isn’t a New York resident anymore so he has no say in how NYC taxpayer money is spent and once he is out of office it is likely that Trump tower will be seized by the New York government once he is indicted on state tax and insurance fraud.
Simple
Drop a can of oil paint if they write that in front of trump tower.
They should post it in the Bronx, Harlem, Coney island, etc,
De Blasio you are fired
Stop whining , some of you.
You vote Democrat down the line and this is what you got.
The evil disgusting DemocRat Party must not only be defeated , but be forever destroyed.
DeBlasio is engaging in a political stunt with little risk to himself. Not going to help him reach higher office.
Do you mind? Let them paint whatever they want, but paint it in “BLACK” (of course, on black)
Are tatoos going out of style ?
Are looting, removing statues, destruction of public property the new fad ?
Its interesting to see the kinds of people that migrate to these pass times.
Once the thrill of this is over, theyll move onto another.
Have mercy on us.
