Mayor Bill de Blasio was greeted with a few jeers as he showed up to help paint a giant Black Lives Matter mural on Fifth Avenue outside Trump Tower on Thursday — with a couple of angry onlookers shouting “douchebag de Blasio” upon his arrival.
The mayor joined first lady Chirlane McCray, the Rev. Al Sharpton, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) to fill in the letter “L” with yellow paint for what some critics, including President Trump himself, have called a political stunt.
When he arrived around 11:30 a.m., two or three men shouted “douchebag de Blasio” at Hizzoner as he crossed the street.
“This is such an important moment for our city,” de Blasio told volunteers, who chanted, “Black lives matter!” while holding paint rollers. “We are making a statement today of what we value in New York City.”
De Blasio left about 20 minutes later.
The rest of the mural — which reads “Black Lives Matter” in massive block letters along Fifth Avenue between East 56th and East 57th streets — was painted by more than 20 local artists with the youth-focused organization Street Corner Resources.

Words fail me..... well, other than I hate these worthless bastards.
Virsiging, it is the prog way.
.
100gals of black paint, a compressor and spray wands, 20mins and it’s gone.
They’re so stupid they have no idea how stupid it is
NYC City Workers did it, on douchebag’s orders.
First of all, murals are painted on walls, not on floors.
Secondly, now people can step all over Black Lives Matter.
Whose idiotic idea is this?
DiBlasio reminds me of the Goons on Goon Island in the Popeye cartoons.
Some fluffy feathers would be a nice addition to the tar.
Black lives matter more to Trump than these hypocrite leftards. He has proven it with acts and promoting economic policies to help benefit and he gets very little thanks but lots of scorn from liars and downright rotten scum of the earth leftards. Sucks to be them.
Poor Dinkins. He was stinking drunk every day in office, and was still a better mayor than DiBlabbio.
Yep de Blasio cuts 1 billion from the NYPD and then pulls this stunt today. What big fool.
DeShit Bag craps on taxpayers. Whatta douchebag.
This “mural” is the writing on the toe-tag of the rotting corpse that was once a safe and prosperous New York City.
Its a marker for vandalism. Like kristallnacht in Hitlers Germany.
They pained Jude and the star of david on all the windows, in bright yellow. Then when night comes, smash all the marked windows.
This is the same idea. Violence. Da Blasio is nurturing violence. Paint BLM in front of targets.
Someone should paint Maga in front of the mayors house.
NYC will never ever get another dime of my tourism spending.
Yep de Blasio cuts 1 billion from the NYPD and then pulls this stunt today. What big fool.
I’d have been on that ledge pelting their “art” work with chocolate pudding balloons.
With all the problems going on in New York City, the crime, the destruction, the violence. Yet this mayor who has been entrusted with the safety and well-being of the city, thinks painting black lives matters in front of Trump Tower is the most important thing going on today. Shaking my head in utter disgust.
A pickup truck with a few cans p
Of paint accidentally spilling ought to take care of it.
The mayor hopes this graffiti ignites violence & demonstrations. He and the left want chaos in front of that building. He wants the Trump Tower tenants and business people attacked verbally & physically.
He wants blood in the street...
Exactly.
