Donald Trump’s campaign signs are stolen and defaced more frequently and with greater dedication than those of any other candidate, and thanks to the digital age, we catch a glimpse of the fleet-footed sign snatchers – and the sign owners who replace their Trump icons time and time again. Trump supporters grumble that sign thieves are ‘thugs’ – but after seeing the culprits in action, perhaps you’ll agree that there is just something about a Donald Trump sign that entices even the most law-abiding citizen to spring into a yard, and spirit the offending banner away. As you’ll see, some Trump sign removers seem to be on a mission, while others fall victim to a crime of convenience.
Trump sign posters are striking back with electric wire, surveillance cameras and are even coating the signs with roofer’s tar. One exasperated Trump fan suggests using Vick’s Vapor-Rub. These methods are minor compared to the Trump fanatic who erected a giant red,white and blue ‘T’ in his front yard. While the first attempt went down in flames, he will delight neighbors with yet a second version which he promises will be ‘YUGE.’ I’m already twitching to get some spray paint and take a trip. My own neighborhood is conspicuous by a total lack of campaign signs. No one wants to cross the crazy.
Make your own judgement, but it looks as though Democrats have paid heed to Michelle Obama’s messages about fitness, because it takes only a few precious seconds for these folks to spring into action, yank the sign out and speed off!
Maybe this really ought to be an Olympic event?!
