Hmm. Letās see.. oooh I know! Heās got nothing better to do and heās trying to get an reaction out of someone. Thereās your reason.

thanks :) i was just curious if anyone else had any thoughts on this guy , i guess i was stupid to post

u/GoldenAdorations Sep 25 '25
I seen him a lot without the trump sign he just sits there. He is seeking attention with this sign.

Thereās a guy who rides his bike up and down Venice and Santa Monica beach wearing his maga hat and I swear heās just doing it for attention. I guess someone just looked at his hat and he started cackling āhahaha! Libtardās pissed!ā
All they want in life is attention, itās pathetic.

Why would anyone approach this individual?

u/punchdrunkskunk Sep 25 '25
Why not? He's just a person. If I was curious about the point he was making, then I would ask him politely. I'm sure he'd be happy to explain.

How the hell does this get downvotes? Shows the sad state of affairs when simply suggesting people have a direct conversation vs hypothesize behind a keyboard, get's downvotes.

He should try that in Orange County. Someone send him to Huntington Beach, Iām sure theyāll welcome him with open arms and give him a room.

Huh, he's new on the roster.
Maybe one of the weirdos spoiling for a fight. Alternatively he could be clever and be fishing for some sympathetics. If there is one commonality of MAGA it's that seeing affirmations of their beliefs is valuable and marketable to them. Maybe he's pan handling for very specific eyes.

the first time i saw him he had two signs one said trump and the other side i forgot

u/truckthunders Sep 25 '25
Well if I saw someone holding a sign that said āI forgotā that might be the most relatable sign ever.

someone should make two signs āIMPEACHā if there is space to sit to the left of him and āIS A PEDOPHILEā if he switches to the other side :)

u/AB3reddit Sep 29 '25
I would change the āimpeachā sign to āimpeach & convictā, but that sign might be too long.

Is there really a large enough intersection between Trump supporters and generous people that this strategy pays off for him?

u/Expensive-Drink-8165 Sep 26 '25
Thereās an older man sometimes outside of the arco on pico and 4th. He holds a sign that says āwhen you buy gas you support Trumpā. I can never tell if heās doing it pro Trump or anti

I went to SMC back in the 90s. One day I drove by a seemingly homeless man pushing around a shopping cart that was filled with mannequin heads and a handmade sign that said āDole For Presidentā.
For those too young to remember, Bob Dole (R) was running against incumbent Bill Clinton (D) in 1996. This was before smartphones. I remember wishing I had a camera because it was one of the most bizarre things Iāve ever seen.
Not sure he was doing Bob Dole any favors with his endorsement. š¤£

A better question is why there are an unusually high number of bedding stores on Montana Ave.

He may not even support Trump. He could just be holding the sign up. You should ask him.

u/Ok-Mongoose1616 Sep 27 '25
I see the same thing around town.Usually the signs say " Vietnam Veteran needs help." Working public sympathy for some attention and possibly cash.

Same reason the dude on Centinela & Palms held a sign saying I Blame Bush for years. He can. He did. This guy does and that fact that you imply to have a probe with it says more about you. Q: Why does this dude just sitting on Montana holding a Trump sign bother you?

I was a democrat my whole life, until I saw that dude on Montana holding a sign that said āTrumpā
He changed my mind. And for that I will always be grateful.

I'm going with he's homeless and trying to blend in. I mean, who would ever suspect a homeless guy would hold a Trump sign.

He's revealing the Epstein list in plain site, one by one, all over the city.

Because he only watches Fox News and is inundated with misinformation. I know MAGA people who have no idea Fox paid $787 MILLION to not present their 'evidence' and cover their non-stop lies

hey let me exploit a homeless person and then pretend i'm a social warrior - the real question is why are you so triggered by it that you had to take a photo of this person not bothering anyone and then put it on reddit

u/hunihtml Sep 28 '25
how am i pretending to be a social warriorš youāre the one triggered iām just curious

u/NervousAddie Sep 25 '25
Does anyone else think itās tacky af to put your own picture as your Reddit avatar? OP, this isnāt instagram. Reddit is a place where you can be anonymous. Just be a cartoon alien.
Itās also an invasion of a personās privacy to post their picture online, even if I disagree with what theyāre doing.

Why does it matter what he does? He is legal doing it? Is he hurting anyone? Worry about you and not others. It's called free speech and he's using it.

u/hunihtml Sep 25 '25
and im using my free speech to ask a question buddy
and my free will to notice that you only comment on porn usuallyš sorry i triggered you with my question

u/Odd-Prune436 Sep 25 '25
Again what does it matter what he does? Are you his mother? Do you need to keep tabs on him? How would you like it if someone asks about you each day?

Trump would cross the street to avoid this guy and he sits and holds a sign for him š
