With Donald Trump getting lambasted in the form of Ronald McDonald and then a piƱata, you knew it was only a matter of time before the Lower East Side’s consummate pop-culture absurdist took a swipe. Not to be outshined by his namesake street-artist-turned-amusement-park-operator, Hansky just threw up this masterpiece on the corner of Canal and Orchard.Ā Unlike other Hanksies, this one appears to be pun-free — until you look at the sign next to it: “Private Property. No [ahem] dumpingĀ allowed.”
Is Hanksy saying TrumpĀ is a piece of shit, or is he saying Trump isĀ the shit? Hard to say: The Donald has his supporters and detractors, as you can see from this annotated Donald McTrump on the corner of Second Avenue and First Street.
