Crossing out 'Black lives matter' and writing 'All lives matter' is, to me, the equivalent of denigrating the NAACP because all people deserve advancement. Yes, 'All lives matter' is a true statement. But by writing that you come off as being completely oblivious to context and why 'Black lives matter' was written in the first place.

EDIT: Perhaps BLM could have averted all of this hubbub regarding the phrase if they had just included the implied 'too'. As in, 'Black lives matter too.'

Trump seems to have proven that wealth is now considered enough of a virtue in its own right to qualify you for the highest office in the country, regardless of lack of political (or any elected) experience, policy ideas, general principles, or character.
