Creepy ‘Trump Joker’ Leers Down From N.J. Billboard
Another anti-Trump piece of artwork has appeared in Jersey City, just weeks after the infamous "Naked Trump" statue was reportedly stolen.
JERSEY CITY, NJ — Just weeks after the infamous “Naked Donald Trump” statue was reportedly stolen from a Jersey City rooftop near the Holland Tunnel, another anti-Trump piece of art is greeting local motorists and residents: a giant billboard depicting the Republican presidential candidate as comic book supervillain “The Joker.”
Brooklyn Street Art posted an Instagram photo of the billboard, which shows the Trump/Joker amalgam dressed in a purple suit with an American flag, holding several grenades and declaring “Dare Me” in a word balloon.
The same people behind the Naked Trump statue — local art collective Mana Contemporary — are also responsible for the Joker Trump billboard, NJ.com reported.
