Stick it right in the lying racist sexual predator and murderously incompetent Trump’s face. He enacts policies in our name specifically “to make liberals cry.” Who cares about his hurt feelings. Trump is scum, filth. His voters think all his cruelty is funny because they’re racists and vicarious sadists. Let the scum–Trump and his low life followers–suck it up this time.

I doubt if many of the black tenants in Trump Tower will mind, if there are any.

How about, “You’re a big jerk and so’s your entire family”?

“Cohen says give back the carpet steamer”?

“Move to Moscow”?

“Did you shag your daughter yet”?

“Take your hydroxytrumpaquine”?

“Is it me or is it a little Stormy around here”?

Your supporters don’t much care for you, either"?

“Will Rudy take Melania’s old bedroom”?

Trump’s racist mentality on display here:

”…big, expensive, yellow Black Lives Matter sign on Fifth Avenue, denigrating this luxury Avenue…l

BUT

Despite Trump’s claim that a piece of street art with “Black Lives Matter” written on Fifth Avenue would depreciate the value of the luxury street, many sources show that public works of art tend to increase property values in neighborhoods where it is displayed.

Addendum:

Meanwhile…some schadenfreuding news:

So if painting “Black Lives Matter” on 5th Avenue is a hate crime, what the fuck is claiming that one could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any votes?!

I love it but I doubt he will be back living in NYC unless it is Riker’s Island.

TPM’s reputation is exactly that. It’s all about the comments, not the reporting. In its defense it doesn’t have the size/budget to compete with larger sites with more content. Did the prime thing once but it’s not worth it IMO.

Maybe our GREAT Police . . . won’t let this symbol of hate be affixed to New York’s greatest street

Is this the kind of deterrence you had in mind, Shitgibbon-In-Chief?

I have wondered about that. If it’s not a mural, can it still be removed with muriatic acid? :sweat_smile:

NYC should pair this up with a short term renaming of a multi-block stretch of 5th Ave to Barack Obama Avenue, including signage.
