Vandalism of political signs is a violation of one’s freedom of speech.
Even if one can’t stand Trump, it’s still not okay to deface (and that’s the appropriate term for a couple of reasons) a sign bearing his likeness.
Trump’s face on the sign in question has black paint on it. The sign is located in Willows on the west side of North Tehama Street (Highway 99), just north of the Highway 99 Lodge.
Regardless of the vandalism, the sign is obsolete anyway. It shows a likeness of Trump, along with the words, “America, miss me yet!?” The sign has been at its present location for years.
Okay, Trump is back in office. The sign no longer serves its original purpose. No one, not even his most devoted supporters, misses him anymore.
Perhaps it’s time for whoever is responsible for the sign to remove it.
Or not.
Just a thought.
