A climate protester was arrested Wednesday afternoon after spraying the word “America” over the president’s insignia inside Trump Tower, according to law enforcement sources and video from the scene.
The man sprayed bright green paint on top of the plaque inside the Midtown landmark before kneeling on the ground in front of him and closing his eyes. According to the footage posted on x.
The moment a small crowd gathered – photographed several demonstrators – security guards approached, and the man spread out a small banner with the word “Game Over” with the symbol of the extinction rebellion of a group of climate activists.
He said, “This is your country. This is our country. This is our planet. …You can’t ruin it without a comment. They are ruining the planet for profit.”
The Brazen display comes the day after the same group of activists spray painted Bull that had charged Wall Street.
They later sprayed graffiti on the windows of Tesla’s meat-filled district showrooms. Two of them landed in the cuffs, authorities said.
Two more demonstrators were taken into custody on Tuesday night, allegedly disrupted the performance of “Tschaikovsky Pas de deux” at the David H. Koch Theatre in Lincoln Center, according to police officers and New York City ballet.
“It’s Earth Day and we’re in a climate emergency!” escorted by cheers and jealous before one protester yelled during the performance. “Does our country become a fascist regime and enjoy this beauty?”
Trump Tower protesters were previously asked to trespass on crime at Columbia University, a law enforcement source said.
