Mayor Bill de Blasios giant Black Lives Matter mural outside Trump Tower is already getting dumped on.
An unidentified man walked up to the giant mural outside the Midtown skyscraper and poured red paint on the bright yellow letters shortly after noon Monday, then ran off before cops showed up to survey the damage.
I knew it was going to happen theres all this racist st going on, construction worker Billy McCabe told The Post. The mural shouldnt have been done right in front of Trump Tower.
The mural, announced by de Blasio earlier this month, has already become a flashpoint for face-offs between pro- and anti-Trump forces including an ugly back-and-forth on Saturday.

One man’s vandal is another man’s counter-protest.
The paint dumper was a peaceful protester exercising his 1st Amendment rights.
Has the muralist, Bill DeBlasio blocked of the street in front of Trump tower to show off his ‘mural’. They keep using that word, I don’t think it means what they think it means.
Yes, there sure is racism going on, but on the side of BLM Mr. McCabe.
And there goes the neighborhood...
That's racist against...Vandals.
“pro- and anti- Trump forces”. Makes it sound like war. It probably is.
Vandals were the trash that put it there in the first place. Trash. All of them.
Sure there’s racism going on billy - but not from where you feeeeeeeeel it’s coming from.
Personally, I thought about the idea of one of those commercial tar spreaders that would coat over the nonsense in one single pass.
Ned to get one of thise liquid asphalt paint sealer trucks to do a sweep over it. Paint it nice and black....because it matters.
As long as no one does tire burns on it....black lines matter.
Rome was not built in a day -- give it a few more days or weeks, and those couple of buckets of paint will start to add up.
Churches are being torched systematically but God forbid a mural gets some paint on it.
I sure hope no septic sucker truck dumps it’s load there.
The first of many improvements.
I think it was just an accidental paint spill. I don’t know why anyone concluded that it was vandalism!! If they wanted to vandalize it, they surely would have used more paint.
Can drones be programmed to carry and then strategically spill paint? Just wondrin’.....
More Cowbell!
A mural is any piece of artwork painted or applied directly on a wall, ceiling or other permanent surfaces. A distinguishing characteristic of mural painting is that the architectural elements of the given space are harmoniously incorporated into the picture...
That ain’t no mural. It’s a childish stunt.
