Trump Calls Black Lives Matter Message Outside Trump Tower a "Symbol of Hate"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump has called Black Lives Matter a "symbol of hate." He
made the charge in a tweet attacking New York City Mayor Bill de
Blasio's plan to paint "Black Lives Matter" in large letters on Fifth
Avenue near Trump Tower. The president said the city's plan is
"denigrating this luxury Avenue."
