A super PAC founded by the co-creator of the Cards Against Humanity game has posted a brutal billboard taking down Donald Trump in Michigan. But if Trump himself were to see the billboard, he wouldn't have any idea what it says, The Detroit Free Press reports.
That is, in fact, precisely the point. The billboard, written in Arabic, reads: "Donald Trump, he can't read this, but he is afraid of it."
"We came up with it because we believe that Donald Trump's hateful rhetoric is not based on reality. It's based in fear, and we think that irrational fear is what's driving his anti-immigrant message," said Nuisance Committee super PAC spokeswoman Melissa Harris.
