"And yet the @NYCMayor is going to paint a big, expensive, yellow Black Lives Matter sign on Fifth Avenue, denigrating this luxury Avenue," the President raged.
"This will further antagonize New York’s Finest, who LOVE New York & vividly remember the horrible BLM chant, 'Pigs In A Blanket, Fry ‘Em Like Bacon.'
"Maybe seeing it outside his doorstep will help him get the point.”

"But more so, that police aren't willing to risk their livelihood to enforce a nonviolent, victimless crime.
"Public safety is at risk, but if we took enforcement action against someone setting off fireworks, the community would combat us because they're trying to have fun during a pandemic and we're out arresting them for just setting off fireworks."
