Work on what President Trump called a "symbol of hate" was supposed to start last week before being postponed abruptly
By Jonathan Dienst, Melissa Russo and Hilary Weissman Published July 8, 2020 Updated on July 8, 2020 at 10:45 pm
New York City will start painting "Black Lives Matter" on Fifth Avenue directly in front of Trump Tower on Thursday, picking up a delayed project that President Trump blasted as a "symbol of hate."
City sources tell News 4 New York the plan is to start Thursday morning, with Mayor Bill de Blasio taking part some time Thursday afternoon. A police official adds that the street could be closed for a couple of days to do the work.
The original announcement drew furious condemnation from the president.
"Maybe our GREAT Police, who have been neutralized and scorned by a mayor who hates & disrespects them, wont let this symbol of hate be affixed to New Yorks greatest street. Spend this money fighting crime instead!" the president tweeted.

This particular iteration of Black Lives Matter actually IS a symbol of hate. Its an expression of how much the city of New York hates Donald Trump.
