NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Mayor Bill de Blasio wants the city to paint a Black Lives Matter mural on the street in front of Trump Tower, according to a report.
A source told the New York Post the mural would be painted on Fifth Avenue, between 56th and 57th streets, while claiming that the mayor is doing it to antagonize the president.
The plan has already been finalized, another source told the outlet. The mural will be stenciled outside Trump Tower sometime before July 4th weekend, the outlet reported.
New York City is already painting Black Lives Matter murals on streets in each of the five boroughs as part of an initiative de Blasio announced earlier this month.

Also, put a 50 foot statue of Obama in central park just over the wall on 5th Ave and 59th.

Obama Boulevard so that Chump Tower has to use this new address.
The BLM is a good start, though.

NYC actually sometimes renames just a single block for dignitaries or celebrities. Most folks and businesses on Fifth (it stretches for miles) wouldn't want to give up a Fifth Avenue address, but the city could easily rename the block where Trump Tower is to Obama Way.

Just kidding. Maybe change it to Obama Way

forcing the police to run their cars into them about three weeks ago in Brooklyn?
Finger in the air much Bill?

I have no objection to painting signs (not a fan on streets however, since traffic will obscure it, but Trump doesn't live there and doesn't visit there, so what's the point?
