A new billboard in Phoenix that depicts United States President Donald Trump as Hitler surrounded by dollar sign swastikas is raising some eyebrows.
Artist Karen Fiorito reportedly designed the billboard on Grand Avenue which shows Trump and red nuclear explosions surrounded by the hate symbols.
Unsurprisingly, the post has attracted mixed reactions.
Some people thought this was a fair use of artistic expression and an important warning whereas others thought it was completely out of line and disrespectful to the 45th president.
“I think this is the greatest thing that I’ve seen in a long time,” Mike Bolenbach told Fox 29.
“I think everything Donald Trump is doing is destroying America from the inside.”
Nearby resident Jeff Whiteman had a completely different point of view.
“Take it to your house,” he told the broadcaster.
“I live right here, I have to wake up to this every day. Disrespectful.”
The artist Karen Fiorito was quoted by Fox 29 saying there was “a lot of tension right now in the air and I’m trying to express that for a lot of people who feel they don’t have a voice right now”.
This isn’t the first billboard she’s done that’s garnered some attention.
In 2004, she partnered with the owners of the billboard another time to create a billboard depicting then-President George W Bush and some of his top officials. It said “Dear America, We lied to you for your own good. Now trust us.”

For years we have been politely trying to get non-political Americans to see how destructive and unhinged the left is. And now Trump with his brash super-confident style has succeeded into taunting the left into show their true character in front of all.
Lying signs and wonders, knew that was coming.
““a lot of tension right now in the air and I’m trying to express that for a lot of people who feel they don’t have a voice right now”.
You had a voice on November 8 you ignorant s%#t.
Name 1 person Donald Trump has killed? Waiting, waiting, waiting.
On the other hand billboard company owners have refused to put up pro life billboards.
How cute. The snowflakes are expressing themselves again.
Nice to see *45* is still living in the heads of the alt-left, rent free.

“Also, do not post images from Corbis or Getty.”
Is the twit going to be visited by the SS like the ones who had effigy’s of zero “hanging” around?
