Some Guy is Scaling Trump Tower as the NYPD Plots to Get Him Down

Last week, some guy in Staten Island had his statue honoring Donald Trump burned down. Pundits wondered if it was a regular old prank or a political statement since, ya know, the mogul and reality star is now the Republican nominee for the presidency.

If the guy climbing Trump Tower could grab Donald’s taxes while he’s there, that’d be terrific.
