Trump Tweet: Street Painting on 5th Ave 'Black Lives Matter' is a "Symbol of Hate"

Screw you, Trump. See you in November.

NYC is cutting Police $’s by ONE BILLION DOLLARS, and yet the @NYCMayor is going to paint a big, expensive, yellow Black Lives Matter sign on Fifth Avenue, denigrating this luxury Avenue. This will further antagonize New York’s Finest, who LOVE New York & vividly remember the....horrible BLM chant, “Pigs In A Blanket, Fry ‘Em Like Bacon”.
Maybe our GREAT Police, who have been neutralized and scorned by a mayor who hates & disrespects them, won’t let this symbol of hate be affixed to New York’s greatest street. Spend this money fighting crime instead!

Also, no way he wrote this. Even if he knew what denigration was, he sure as hell couldn't spell it.

I have yet to see a family photo where they look like normal people. They always look like they’re posing for an advertisement in Esquire or Town and Country. That’s what they are posers.

This weirdo does not appreciate lumping them into the odd domain. They are a lot of things but weird is not one of them.

"Neutralized"? "Scorned"? "Affixed"? That isn't trump. That's either Miller or spokesperson BarbieDoll McNinny.

No other meaning can attach to 'Maybe out great police won't let this symbol be attached to the street'.

He seems to be envisioning police officers preventing other city employees from doing their jobs as the Mayor directs.

That jumped out at me immediately. Police are city employees who function under elected civilian leadership. He is literally calling for insurrection.

it wouldn't be the first rabble rousing of the police.

Back when Dinkins was Mayor the police were having some protest rally in ?City Hall Park and Guess Who was egging them on!??!!!?

Wait for it......

His name is still on that building.
