After all, there is a Gucci store on the premises.
CNN producer Noah Gray reported that at one point, “a small physical altercation” broke out between protesters and Trump’s personal security.

The protesters were confronting Trump over his comments on illegal immigrants that had elicited a national firestorm.
Among the other protesters gathered outside Trump Tower on Thursday, were a few wearing Ku Klux Klan hoods and hats while preaching against Trump’s immigration policies. They made what looked like a Miss Universe effigy decorated with a banner that included swastikas. “Whether people like it or not, that’s how we assimilate”. “We need to spread the ideas of the Mayan people!”
The protest was the third such effort as part of an anti-Trump boycott, and was held after Trump announced that he had signed a pledge not to run as a third-party candidate in the upcoming presidential election. “If you don’t believe that, then take these skyscrapers and shove them up your a**”.
The confrontation turned violent when a bodyguard allegedly seized a sign “Make America Racist Again”.
The station aired footage of the demonstrator, Efrain Galicia, chasing after the guard, who was carrying a sign he took from the protesters. Another guard separated the men and, after heated words were exchanged, the fracas ended.
“They pushed me around”, Galicia told The Post.
The activist, a USA resident for 30 years, said that the guard was acting like his tycoon boss, who had prominent Latino reporter Jorge Ramos booted from from a press conference last month.
Galicia also said he would be pressing charges but as of Thursday evening, the NYPD had received ‘no formal complaint, ‘ according to the Washington Post.
