A highway sign bearing former President Donald Trump’s name on a Manhattan roadway is being removed in the wake of a petition and request from a Democrat state legislator.
The sign on the Henry Hudson Parkway on Manhattan’s West Side was paid for by the Trump Organization as part of the New York Department of Transportation’s “Adopt-A-Highway” program that lets organizations or individuals pay to sponsor road signs in the city, Business Insider reported Wednesday.
The sign has been up since at least 2009, according to USA Today, which reported in 2017 it had been vandalized — and continues to be a target.
The removal comes after Linda Rosenthal, a Democrat state assembly member, asked in July that it be yanked. In a letter to the New York City Department of Transportation, Rosenthal called Trump’s presidency a “stain on our nation’s history” and cited a petition that had gathered 1,671 signatures calling for the sign’s removal.
The petition argued that the sign violated the city DOT’s policy of not allowing political candidates or campaigns to adopt the highway, and should have been removed in 2015, when Trump announced his run for president.

Oh, this is wonderful. And how much will this cost the taxpayers to remove?
But his money remains in the Adopt-a-hiway program coffers.
Of course, despite the disaster now, it’s par for the course for liberals to instead claim as she did: “Rosenthal called Trump’s presidency a “stain on our nation’s history” “.
The lies are getting to be non-stop.
Okay so it should have been taken down in 2015 But it wasn’t and NOW it’s 2021 – Trump is currently not officially a political candidate, so what is the justification for removing the sign. When he officially declares that he is running again for president then they can remove the sign but not now!
There is no end to these liberals hate! They are soo aggressive against anyone that doesn’t think like them, they will harass, bully and victimize their “enemies” till the grave. I now understand why we had to legalize marijuana.
Can you repeat that please?
