The Cards Against Humanity super PAC posted a brilliant Trump takedown — in Arabic
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.

The town of Dearborn, where the billboard was posted, has a large population of Arab Americans, so even if Trump can't read the sign, many of the 331,539 people who drive past it in the swing state each week might.
