This week a group calling itself The Nuisance Committee has put up a billboard in Arabic on the I-94 in Detroit.
In white lettering on a black background, Arabic text reads: “Donald Trump can’t read this, but he’s afraid of it.”
It's strategically placed near an exit leading into Dearborn, a neighbourhood with a high population of Middle Eastern and Muslim residents.
Donald Trump famously broke through in a crowded Republican primary campaign with strong racial rhetoric, including proposing a wall on the Mexican border and an outright ban on Muslim immigration.
That stance has since softened to “extreme vetting” of immigrants from countries with “ties to terrorism.”
The Nuisance Committee behind the ad was started by Cards Against Humanity co-creator Max Temkin.
The committee is named after a group Temkin's grandfather formed when he was a prisoner of the Nazis. The POW group aimed to irritate their captors in ways that wouldn’t get them shot.
"The comparison between Trump and Hitler is intentional,” a spokeswoman for the group said.
Money for the billboard, which is also appearing in other major American cities, has been raised through sales of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton themed expansions to the Cards Against Humanity game.
“At the end of this promotion, Cards Against Humanity will tally up the sales of both packs, and depending on which pack gets more support, will donate all the money in support of Hillary Clinton’s campaign,” their website says.
No points will be awarded for guessing which way the Cards Against Humantiy creators lean. Source: Cards Against Humanity
