New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has announced that within the next several days, the words “Black Lives Matter” will be painted on the street in front of Trump Tower.

Donald Trump doesn’t appear to know what a metaphor is, as a “system” is concept that can’t be literally burned down.

In any case, Trump just accused the Black Lives Matter movement of being treasonous. This racist clown has totally lost it.
