BRADENTON, FL – Police received several calls Monday morning about a profane Trump flag affixed to the top downtown traffic signs, a spokesperson for the Bradenton Police Department said.

The flag was placed on top of a trio of signs – a β€œOne Way” sign, a β€œNo Left Turn” sign and a β€œDo Not Enter” sign – at the intersection of 15th Street West and Manatee Avenue/SR64 without permission. It read β€œTrump 2020 No More Bulls***" and was placed in a high-traffic area that regularly sees traffic snarls during rush hour.

The police spokesperson said the flag β€œwas pretty high” and they were unable to take it down. So, they referred the issue to the city of Bradenton’s Public Works Department.
