Along with the new fencing around the White House to keep protesters at bay, President Trump should have a good view of a city block-long painting spelling out Black Lives Matter.
The local Washington D.C. government reportedly gave the green light to muralists to make the large BLM display along 16th Street NW … which leads straight into Lafayette Park and the President’s home.

The work started early Friday and will take several hours, but it looks like the artists are making great progress. And, in addition to the new display … Mayor Muriel Bowser has officially renamed the section of the street “Black Lives Matter Plaza.”

The bold, yellow lettering of the mural is a stark contrast to the black fencing put up Thursday around The White House complex on 17th Street NW. Remember, an 8-foot hight fence was already erected around Lafayette Square earlier this week.
The White House is now surrounded by nearly 2 miles of fencing in response to demonstrations and unrest in the nation’s capital. Of course, that cause POTUS to take shelter in a bunker for a bit … and also instruct law enforcement to open fire on peaceful protesters so he could get to a photo op.
It seems more than unlikely he’d seek another photo op next to the mural when it’s completed.
