A climate activist was arrested at Trump Tower in New York City on Wednesday after vandalizing the presidential insignia inside the building. 

The man took green spray paint to the sign and wrote USA over the "45" on before kneeling down in front of it and unfurling a banner with the Extinction Rebellion logo and the words "game over" written across it. 

"This is our country. This is our planet," the man said as he was taken away in footage captured by Oliya Scootercaster. "You cannot ruin it without comment. They are ruining the planet for profit."

James Byrne, a US Secret Service spokesperson, told amNY, "The US Secret Service is aware of an incident involving a person spray painting graffiti inside the public lobby of Trump Tower in New York City. There are no disruptions to protective operations. We thank the NYPD for their immediate response and unwavering partnership."

Onlookers were not pleased with the display. One man said, "What a f*cking piece of sh*t, bro." Another said, "I hope they take you downstairs and beat your a**."

The protestor said in a statement, "I did this because I am an American. It is my duty to stand up for my country, and my Earth, when a government becomes destructive of our right to Life. Donald Trump and the regime of private interests he works for—who donate equally to each party—are destructive of your inalienable right to Life. All American political parties are equally complicit in inaction which has brought us to this point. Switching to blue is not the solve. Kamala Harris’ climate platform was fracked gas, much deadlier than regular."


 

This comes after police took a 30-year-old person into custody on Tuesday evening after reports that a disorderly person was on top of an “elevated surface” in Trump Tower.
