Hundreds gather in Amsterdam to show support for Trump sign

A “vote for Trump” sign that was placed on a building in Amsterdam was concealed until a restraining order was lifted on Monday.

Hundreds of supporters of former President Donald Trump gathered outside Sticker Mule in Amsterdam on Monday evening. The CEO of the business proceeded with lighting up a “Vote for Trump” sign as a restraining order in the case was lifted.

The city claimed in court documents that the 12-foot-by-100 sign posed a potential threat to traffic flow due to its distracting nature. Citing concerns for public safety and violations of city codes, the city took measures to ensure the sign was covered.

The sign was unveiled and illuminated on Monday evening.

According to city officials, the sign was found to be non-compliant with permit requirements, and Sticker Mule had failed to apply for a variance. However, just before a rally in support of the sign began at around 6 p.m. on Monday, a New York State Supreme Court judge lifted the restraining order that had been put in place, as Constantino explained.

“I won’t be going to jail, and we’re going to light up the sign,” Constantino confidently declared to the crowd, and then proceeded to switch it on. According to court documents, disregard for the code violation notice may result in a fine, a potential prison sentence of up to one year, or both.”

According to Constantino, the city’s action was deemed as “election interference.” He emphasized that the sign should be regarded as a work of art, created by local artists and constructed by builders in the area.
