The Nuisance Committee, created by the founders of the popular Cards Against Humanity game, are trolling Donald Trump with a billboard near Detroit.
From Detroit News:
Written mostly in Arabic, the sign reads: “Donald Trump, he can’t read this, but he is scared of it anyway,” according to Kitty Kurth, spokeswoman for the Nuisance Committee, which was started by founders of the game Cards Against Humanity.
“It’s tongue-in-cheek with a serious message behind the comedy.”
The billboard was placed near Dearborn because of its large Arab-American population, according to the committee. The Republican presidential nominee has come under fire for his comments regarding Muslims. Another reason is that Michigan is a key swing state.
And how are residents of one of the nation’s largest large Arab-American population responding to the billboard:
“I chuckled,” said Walid, recalling the first time he saw it. “I laughed. Duh. This is how people feel in the community. It’s mocking Trump. It’s funny yet very appropriate considering the nonsense Donald Trump has continued to say about Muslims.”
More on the purpose of the Super PAC and the billboard from the Detroit Free Press:
The billboard posted last weekend is funded by the Nuisance Committee super PAC, which was started by the creator of the Cards Against Humanity card game. It has raised more than $410,000 through a satirical fund-raising campaign, and the billboard is unique among three others the group has posted across the country.
"We came up with it because we believe that Donald Trump's hateful rhetoric is not based on reality. It's based in fear," Nuisance Committee spokeswoman Melissa Harris said of the Republican presidential nominee. "And we think that irrational fear is what's driving his anti-immigrant message."
The billboard directs people to Trumpisscared.org, which outlines Donald Trump’s notoriously hateful immigration proposals.
