Trump might think he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and still not lose any voters, but he can't do a thing about the big yellow "Black Lives Matter" that coming to 5th Avenue right in front of Trump Tower. It will look similar to this one on Brooklyn:

The words are expected to be painted in the coming week on Fifth Avenue, between 56th and 57th Streets, according to the city.

“The president is a disgrace to the values we cherish in New York City,” Julia Arredondo, a spokeswoman for Mr. de Blasio, said in a statement on Thursday. “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.”

Why not an actual mural on an approved wall or building that isn't going to be driven over, snow and rain ruining the design of over the years (I've been to NYC multiple times and many of the streets are in dire need of repaving and road work), and that won't eventually wear down due to foot and car traffic? That people can actually enjoy seeing vs walking/driving over for a very short amount of time?

Some murals are absolutely beautiful and insane works of art. THIS will not do what a mural on a wall or building could do IMO.

I get the point, however, if it's being done in front of Trump Tower as many still believe the man is a racist.

I suppose whatever drives them....

Your point? Are you going to count the people that still praise Trump?

His last tweet was confusing. Was he thinking they were going to paint that Pigs in a blanket slogan on the street? Or is he calling the “Black Lives Matter” expression a symbol of hate.

They did one in Cincinnati on the street too. They had a different artist do each letter. Too bad it will be ruined by driving on it.

That was the BLM chant against police a few years ago during their protests. I think it started around the time of Ferguson.
