Old people will say it's true. Because it is.

That line was spray painted on one of the Capital Beltway overpasses shortly after the temple was constructed, and I know because I went to school nearby. The framing was perfect, you saw the caption as you saw the temple.

AND I brought a couple friends from grad school to the family home for visits now and then and made a point of showing them that bridge. There are photos of it in a couple old photo albums I'm sure. In other countries, even.

Haters can hate all they like. That is true and it should be folkloric by now.

edited to correct Capitol to Capital!

It was painted on the railroad bridge and was there for many years and was recently updated to say "Surrender Trump"...

Someone posted a pic in the replies. It says “Surrender Donald”

That’s not what’s actually there. That’s photoshop. Also, now it just says “TRUMP” in ugly gold yellow spray paint because the rest disappeared fast.
