NEW YORK---It was the buzz at the door Brian Andrew Whiteley had been dreading for months. On Monday afternoon, a pair of police officers in plain clothes and a Secret Service agent appeared at his Brooklyn apartment. Mr. Whiteley, an artist, was nervous but not exactly surprised. On March 27, Easter Sunday, he had secretly dropped off his latest project in Central Park: a gravestone bearing the name of Donald J. Trump. The epitaph read “Made America Hate Again.” The stone was quickly removed by the parks department and confiscated by the police. [link]
