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.

That krout ####
Yes he did, as of last year, his other residence besides the White house is florida.
Absolutely correct and in addition Mayor Kaiser Wilhelm just opened a can of worms. Black Lives MatterTM is a corporation that just had the mayor paint their advertisement on a New York City street. Now EVERY corporation in the country can ask for the same and when he refuses they can sue his ass off for unequal treatment under the law.
Let's see him get sued into painting Trump / Pence 2020.
Extraordinarily childish
Some enterprising groups of young people might be creative in re-purposing all that Yellow lettering with the color Red.
A pool should be started. How many days before black murder victims outnumber the letters spelling BLM?
Oh please Bill, allow another CHOP zone in NYC. This will be great.
Communists consider that graffiti art
Anyone, who calls printing out Black Lives Matter on a street a mural, is a worthless pos posing, as a human being.
This isn’t art nor a mural!
It is poor and untalented bs.
It does not even count as graffiti!
Most graffitti has some type of art form.
This has nothing to do with art.
“was painted by more than 20 local artists”
artisits were needed to paint block letters?
Trump needs to completely divest out of NY. Sell it all.
It would be messy.
Bill Likes Monica (BLM) outside the Clinton household.
I’m sure NY and NYC will take a hit just by having him switch his residence to Florida (as Rush did); the income taxes (at the state AND city level) must be missed.
A couple of years ago NJ’s wealthiest resident (David Tepper) moved to Florida, and the state budget had to be revised. ONE MAN!

Crazy out of control Mayors
De Blas making history as usual
He will make a great substitute for Biden if he (Biden) needs admittance to mental health hospital before the election.
Who paints ‘art’ where it will get run over, leaked on, etc.
Morons.
