President Trump will actually travel to NYC on Monday and will reportedly stay through Wednesday:
Today Mayor de Blasio said Trump will arrive in NYC sometime Monday, staying until Wednesday evening; so when is the #TrumpTower protest?

Well, that will go well:
Keep marching. I'd join if I physically could. BLOCK @TrumpTower Don't let @realDonaldTrump pass until he condemnsa #nazis or admits he is 1
