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

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.
