USA: Row over Trump billboard with 'swastika dollar signs' in Arizona

[The work is by artist Karen Fiorito who
said she was expressing "tension
in the air" among people
"who don't have a voice".]

Hillary had more votes than Trump did, three million more in fact. I think it's fair that people are angry with the fact he won because the majority did not vote for him and it's more than fair that people are opposed to him now because of the fact that he's laying waste to the working and middle classes by trying to repeal the Affordable Health Act and electing a budget and a cabinet made for benefitting the rich.

People are allowed to be dissatisfied with the way things are, Kazanne.

Like Withano said, it's freedom of speech.

I also think it's a fair assessment, his administration thus far has been based around extreme prejudice and making the rich richer, associating him with Swastika dollar signs is quite apt.

Lots of people diminishing the power of the swastika to make a political point that suits them. This "artist" says she is speaking for those who have no voice. Has she run it past them? Do they all agree with her? Shock tactics to get her mug on the telly.
