CA Officials Topple Giant 'TRUMP' Sign Overlooking 405 Freeway, Citing 'Life And Safety Hazard'

[Zero] California officials were so triggered after someone erected a giant "TRUMP" sign on a hillside overlooking a Los Angeles freeway, that they promptly removed it from the private property within two hours of a caller reporting it.

The sign, visible on the hills near the Sepulveda Pass as Los Angeles drivers began their Tuesday commute, was first reported just before 7 a.m. by a driver who "was apparently concerned it could spark a blaze" after the state's history of "destructive brush fires in the past few years."
As such, the CA Highway Patrol noted the sign as a "traffic hazard" as drivers began to decelerate to take photos of the sign.

By 9 a.m., the sign was taken down by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), which entered private property and "laid it down so it wasn’t a visual distraction." (h/t The Federalist).

#2 I guess they finally got around to filling all of the skateboard parks with sand and went on to the next "danger".

#9 Churches, free speech. They're starting on the 1st Amendment now that they have suppressed the 2nd.

#10 "Good morning. We are from the California Department of Revenue, and we are here to audit your assets as part of an investigation into zoning violations."

#11 I actually admit it would have been a serious fire risk given the political climate that now exists in the People’s Republic of California. Sad truth, but also another example of how the golden age of American exceptionalism is ending. The left does not permit dissent. Think about how much political power it takes to go from CHP dispatcher receipt of the first call to CalTrans on the property knocking the sign down in 2 hours! Anyone who has every seen how CalTrans works can only marvel how anything would get done by them in TWO hours?

#12 Fire risk because it would attract Molotov cocktails.

#13 Try a hologram.

#14 Could pay for the hologram by live streaming it moving across the landscape from protestors, like a cat and laser pointer.
