A Hollywood sign-style with letters spelling out “TRUMP” appeared on the side of a California freeway for the second time on Tuesday.

The sign appeared in Corona in Riverside County along the 91 Freeway on Tuesday, NBC Los Angeles reported. It was unclear if it was related to the sign previously erected off the 405 Freeway earlier this month.

State workers removed the “TRUMP” sign that appeared in Sepulveda Pass hours after it was first reported. The authorities said the Hollywood-style sign celebrating the president presented a visual distraction as vehicles were slowing down to take photos, Los Angeles station KTLA reported. The officials also pointed to fire concerns as the sign was in a dry, bush-heavy area.

Reasons to remove the sign:

It's a visual distraction.

It's a fire concern.

How do these reasons compare to the original HOLLYWOOD sign. My feeling is the libs, who are tearing the state apart, are getting squeamish.

So are the giant homeless encampments.

But they didn’t order the Hollywood sign removed because of fire concerns.

I’m among the first to suspect bad motives by liberals. But it you’ve ever driven Sepulveda Pass on the 405 freeway at traffic time (and it’s nearly ALWAYS traffic time there but particularly congested morning and evening) you might sympathize with the decision to remove that particular sign.

Yet I can’t help but wonder what would have happened if it had been a Biden sign.

Yea. Cannot clean out the debris that causes the Forest Fires, but by God that Trump Sign is self combustible. Tack it down Now!! LOL. Great work Corona. :)

Did they believe the sign was somehow drier and bushier than its surroundings?

Who would slow down to take a picture of a Biden sign?

It’s a fire concern because some criminal might set it on fire.

tIt’s a fire concern because some criminal might set it on fire.

It’s a fire concern because some Biden supporter might set it on fire.

There. Fixed it.

= = =

Trump is NOT Bushier!

A moot point as we know a possible fire really wasn’t the reason, but the Hollywood sign is metal. ; )

"... removed the sign ... presented a visual distraction ..."

Yo, Facebook & Twitter - take note! This is a great excuse for removing all pro-Trump posts/tweets --- "because they are visually distracting".
