Dump Trump

I will try to keep my loath, hate and contempt for Mr. Donald Dump, I mean Mr. Donald Trump, to myself. But really, don't you think Hanksy captured his essence well? 

Hanksy is an annonymous satirical artist who has managed to combine in his pieces the work of British street artist, Banksy, with the face of famous American actor Tom Hanks. However, for this mural, Hanksy has taken on "The Donald," and it is much more than just paint on the wall. 

Hanksy painted this mural after Trump announced his decision to run for President. The thought of a Trump Presidency scared Hanksy enough to turn his street art mural into activism. Hanksy launched, as he calls it, a "grassroots (bowel) movement" to boycott the now Republican party nominee from becoming the next POTUS. 

The Dump Across America movement showed up with the DOODOOBOYS, as the small army is called, carrying the dump-trump illustration along with the #dumptrump posters in New Hampshire and North Carolina during the primaries, but unfortunately, he won both primaries and here we are today. Most recently, the Dump Across America army has protested outside many of the Trump properties here in NYC, including one of the Trump properties where Donald Trump lives. 

I started wondering, more like wishing, will the DOODOOBOYS and the Dump Across America movement make an appearance at The National Republican Convention this week? So, I took to my favorite blog, Instagrafite to ask the question. Haven't heard back from them, but will update once I do.
