  • In February 2020, social media users began asking us about a photograph showing the yard of a house festooned with U.S. flags and Trump 2020 campaign signs, with one of the latter bearing text reading, God Bows Down to President Donald J Trump — Declares 'He Is Perfect': The photograph is real and depicts a sign posted by an Asbury Park, New Jersey, resident named David Sander. However, Sander is definitely not a Trump supporter. Since the 2016 election, Sander has posted over a hundred signs in his yard bearing messages that criticize and poke fun at the current chief executive: https://www.app.com/videos/news/local/people/2019/10/07/mystery-man-behind-asbury-park-anti-trump-signs/3895994002/ As documented in a News 12 Long Island report, at least one of Sander's banners prompted an obscenity complaint to police, who paid a visit to Sander to advise him he could be charged with a crime if he failed to remove the offending sign: https://www.news12.com/clip/14925941/asbury-park-man-says-police-made-him-take-down-anti-trump-sign In this particular case, Sander's God Bows Down to Trump campaign sign display was meant to be taken ironically (or satirically) rather than literally — it was mocking Trump and the sentiment expressed in the text rather than promoting them.
