‘Trump is disgusting’ skywriting at end of Rose Parade
Parade spectators watch as an airplane writes the message, “America is great! Trump is disgusting,” above the parade route during the 127th Rose Parade in Pasadena, Calif., on Jan. 1, 2016.
Donald Trump, who has been the talk of American politics for months, made an appearance of sorts at the Rose Parade.
At least in the sky.
As the parade was ending, a small plane began to fill the sky with puffs of white smoke. It spelled “America is Great,” and then it continued with a different message: “Trump is disgusting.”
The bit of political activism didn’t seem to faze the crowd.
“We didn’t need any of that politics today,” said Dave Gomola of Bellefontaine, Penn.
