New York City's famous George Washington Monument in Washington Square Park was defaced with red paint on Monday as protesters gathered further downtown outside City Hall ahead of a controversial vote that could slash the city's police budget by $1billion - 16 percent of its total - despite escalating crime and chaos.
In the latest symbol of police defiance and unruliness across the city, the vandals tossed red paint at the famous George Washington monument on Monday then fled the scene, leaving city workers to try to power wash it off.
President Trump tweeted on Tuesday: 'We are tracking down the two Anarchists who threw paint on the magnificent George Washington Statue in Manhattan. We have them on tape. They will be prosecuted and face 10 years in Prison based on the Monuments and Statues Act. Turn yourselves in now!'

Reports are the so-called deal is a crock. The cuts are phony and funding for the NYPD is hidden in other budget items.
The mob is not amused.

Trump wins NY next election.
During Dinkins time as mayor, the people still had a modicum of decency despite the terrors. I lived there. Family, country and religion meant something.
In 2020, most are out for themselves. “Hell is other people,” and NYC is descending into hell.
NYC has the government they deserve.
Washington Square Park has been fully covered by video cameras since the 1990s.
Keith Richards/Mick Jagger, album "Some Girls", song "Shattered", 1978.
That’s the Stones’ song Trump should be playing at his rallies.
Nope. I don’t want anyone from NYC in my state.
It’s what the people want. Just stay clear of NYC as it consumes itself.
[[[That said, if you live in NYC and can vote with your feet, do it.]]]
They are in droves and showing up here in upstate NY.
Rental prices and home values are skyrocketing. And they will probably continue to vote communist like morons.
