The ultimate political yard sign: painting 'Trump' on your roof

It could also be a St. Petersburg code violation.



It’s probably someone’s version of the American dream.

A charming house on a quiet street in a safe neighborhood, where the neighbors know each others names. Shady canopy of oak trees, white picket fence, gigantic “Trump 2020” painted directly on the roof.

Two weeks before a presidential election, it’s no surprise we’ve reached peak candidate-yard-sign density in St. Petersburg.

But one home in the Euclid St. Paul’s neighborhood has cranked it up a notch with support for President Donald Trump displayed in bright white letters, 20 feet wide.

The neighborhood is in a precinct that voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton in 2016, and is currently dominated by yard signs for Democratic candidate Joe Biden. One neighbor across the street displays a sign with a row of Black power fists in rainbow colors. Another has posted in their window, that “in this house, we believe, Black lives matter, women’s rights are human rights and science is real.”

It will be a disgusting mix of black and dark green spots and streaks in the central Florida weather.

I hadn't had my first coffee, yet.



Post-debate hangover.

Geeze, the only way to get rid of that mess is to totally replace the shingles.

I suspect it’s time for replacement and he figured what the heck. Still weird. But the roof looks ready for a new roof.

That's a creepy love doll on the porch. It must be Roger or Rudy's place.

I would say this would be a perfectly good house to egg and TP the house with toilet paper.

Wow! Was everyone rich in those days? Throwing toilet paper on a yard?
