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.”

Somebody needs to commission an equally replusive poster about Hillary and/or Obama. Then hang it right outside the ‘artists’ front window. “For those who don’t have a voice.”
George W. Bush and Donald J. Trump. No billboard “art” for the black guy. I’m starting to see an anti-American, commie lib pattern here from this ditzy bimbo.
silly waste of money.
Yawn, libs call everyone a Nazi who disagree with.
doesn’t look like swastikas
Gosh, that’s original...
Some of that looks suspiciously computer-generated, to my eye anyways.
My first comment too.
All of a sudden it’s 1981 again. At least it feels like it when I see this s**t.

Somebody should put Obama’s face over Trump’s, change the signs into real swastika signs, and in the background have that obnoxious and meaningless Obama logo that shows a path going nowhere.
Trump should find out the “artist’s” favorite govt agencies and shut them down.
Legally it’s no problem.
Socially it’s political garbage and the LameStreamMedia is responsible for creating the lying environment that spawned it.
She’s not an artist.
Three of the elements in her so called “art” are fairly common on the Internet.
At best, she creaated a billboard size meme.
