Billboard Goes Up in South Florida Labeling Trump a “Wannabe Dictator” [Video]

A striking new billboard labeling Donald Trump a “dictator” appeared Friday on eastbound SR 836, the Dolphin Expressway, one of nearly a dozen signs in South Florida blasting Republicans.

“Donald Trump, who repeatedly promised to be a Day 1 dictator, proves with every passing day and action that he truly is a wannabe dictator,” said Chris Wills, spokesman for Keep Them Honest, a nonprofit targeting GOP lawmakers supporting Trump’s deportation agenda.

“Our Members of Congress have a duty to use the checks and balances granted to them by our Constitution, to ensure that we will not ever allow in the USA, a wannabe dictator to take control of our Democracy, not even for one day,” Wills emphasized in a Friday statement.

The group added that the billboard “will be a daily reminder to everyone traveling on the Dolphin Expressway of the danger to our democracy that Donald Trump now represents in the White House.”

Keep Them Honest joins Latino Miami-Dade Democrats in a broader billboard campaign targeting Republican Cuban-American lawmakers, U.S. Reps. Maria Elvira Salazar, Mario Diaz-Balart, and Carlos Gimenez, for not protecting immigrants facing deportation.

The Democrats’ campaign accuses these lawmakers of being “traitorous Republican Cuban American politicians.”

In response, a billboard by “Cubans with I-220A” declared the “real traitors” are Fidel and Raúl Castro, Miguel Díaz-Canel, Nicolás Maduro, Hugo Chávez, and Daniel Ortega.

The billboard battle began last month with the first sign on the Palmetto Expressway, followed by a second near the Florida Turnpike and SW 88th Street.
