President Trump is clashing with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio over the installation of a Black Lives Matter street mural in front of the crown jewel of his business empire: the Trump Tower.
According to the New York Daily News, De Blasio is planning to have the mural painted on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue in front of the skyscraper.
“Bill de Blasio wants to paint the fabled beautiful Fifth Ave., right in front of Trump Tower/Tiffany, with a big yellow Black Lives Matter sign,” he wrote.
De Blasio countered Trump’s complaint about the slogan “Black Lives Matter.”
The mayor has said that he wanted to see Black Lives Matter murals in each of New York’s Five Boroughs.
