Liberal group cuts Trump deep in the South over gas prices

Alabama newspaper AL.com reports A Birmingham-area grassroots group is hitting President Donald Trump hard over gas prices in one of his reddest Southern states.

Their latest billboard features a likeness of Trump — complete with bright red MAGA hat — trying to use a gas pump for a phone while gasoline jets between his ears. The caption beneath the billboard features the common southern saying: “He Ain’t Right.”

“You have to be able to laugh at it because right now, we’re powerless unless they enact the 25^th Amendment,” said Bright Blue Dot organizer Joellyn Beckham, who designs most of the organization’s public images.

The sign, which sits on the entrance ramp to U.S. 280 from Highland Avenue in Birmingham, is the latest political protest message from Bright Blue Dot, a group that produces a series of public political protest signs and purchasable material targeting Trump and his policies.

Beckham told AL.com that the “He Ain’t Right” billboard was inspired by Trump’s voluntary attack on Iran, which is regarded as a blunder by polling and liable to balloon gas and food prices further over the next few months leading into the midterms.

But Beckham said the language of the caption really more specifically came from Trump’s unchained threats against Iran hours before Trump caved to a problematic ceasefire with Iran.

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” Trump wrote on social media, while giving Iran a deadline to agree to his demands.

Beckham said she found Trump’s threats intolerable.

“I think people will say ‘he didn’t do it,’ but nobody knew if he was going to get up the next morning and say, ‘let all hell break loose,’” said Beckham. “My fear is they’re going to wait until something awful happens and it’s going to be too late.”

“He’s nuts and we don’t deserve this and we don’t serve to be humiliated by it. His impulses are not restrained, and his speech is certainly not restrained,” she added.

Meanwhile, AL.COM reports Alabama leaders, “including Sens. Katie Britt and Tommy Tuberville, support the president’s intervention in Iraq.”
