Pro-Trump banner flies above beach; all Hell breaks loose...

Instead of local drink specials, an airplane towed a pro-Trump banner above the beach in Ocean City, MD. Due to the ensuing hub-bub, the company agreed to no longer fly political banners. That would ruin my day


It all started with a pro-Trump banner. Then came the endless phone calls.

Ocean Aerial Ads is used to receiving political banner requests, especially during election seasons. But the public's response was different when the banner towed by a plane was in support of President Donald Trump.

"That's when all hell broke loose," said Chris Bunting, who helps run the family business.

I read through the article, it said everything but what the banner actually said.

had a similar idea. Using his yacht as a campaign vehicle, Joe Trillo would hug the RI beaches, blaring music and his campaign messages, much to the annoyance of beachgoers. It all came to an end one fine day when his yacht struck a rock, began taking on water, and required rescue by the Coast Guard.

His campaign thus far has been hit with numerous citations for over-sized signage, inappropriate placement, annoyance issues, and displaying signs earlier than 60 days before an election.


The former Republican lawmaker running as an independent has said President Donald Trump inspired his gubernatorial run.
