A retired
Instead, Almont
resident Wally Maslowsky, decided to mow 'TRUMP' in huge letters into the grass
of his 8-acre lawn in Lapeer
County
Drone footage taken
from the air shows how expansive the sign spreads across the land.
Measured from the
front of the 'T' to the back of the 'P', is 330 feet, while the letters are
176-feet high, making the entire creation over 58,000 square feet, Maslowsky
told CBS Detroit.
Maslowsky worked at
General Motors before retiring, and came up with the idea during his spare time
gardening.
'I was cutting out
there one day and I said, well, it would be pretty neat to put a sign in here,'
he told CBS.
'Being that I've got
a design background I just kind of came in the house and laid it out and
plotted some points kinda like you're doing a survey when you're laying out a
basement for a house.'
Maslowsky says the
project took about four or five hours over the weekend to complete.
Maslowsky told the
station that there is a lot of support for Donald Trump in the area around
Almont.
Hillary Clinton still
leads Trump 38%-35% in Michigan
'I decided, well, I
could do this; so just for the heck of it I did it,' Maslowsky said.
'I mean, that's what
retired people do to keep busy, right? …Either that or sit in front of the TV
and get old.'
Maslowsky said he
didn't think the sign would become a big deal, until his daughter-in-law posted
pictures of what he had done to Twitter.
'And I said, well,
you know, I didn't do this for the news or anything, I'm not looking for any
kind of publicity, and she says, ''Well, why'd you do it?''
'I said, just for
fun, just to do it! Let the planes see it when they fly over.'
