'Trump 2020' slogan mysteriously appears on Sydney sky, Australians say 'piss off we don't share your views'

The Sydney occurrence coincides with major rallies in the US by Trump supporters who back the POTUS' claims of a rigged election that has 'favoured' the Democrats

A ‘Trump 2020’ slogan floated on the Sydney sky as a statement, seeking the outgoing US president to remain in office for another term. President Donald Trump, who is claiming voter fraud in this year's election, lost to his Democratic rival Joe Biden, who is all set to take oath of office as the 46th president of the United States.

The Sydney occurrence coincides with major rallies in the US by Trump supporters who back the POTUS' claims of a rigged election that has "favoured" the Democrats. Trump supporters turned out in Washington DC on Saturday, November 14, to root for the president's unverified claims of voter fraud in the polls. The ‘pro-Trump rally’ started at noon near Freedom Plaza, just east of the White House and headed towards the Supreme Court. The MAGA supporters used different names, including Million MAGA March, March for Trump and Stop the Steal DC, for the event.

Though neither Australia nor its citizens are connected to the US election, several social media users debated the issue. Sharing a picture of the slogan on Sydney sky, a user tweeted, “Do we need more proof Trump supporters are idiots? Why would you pay to sky write Trump 2020 over the eastern suburbs of Sydney after he lost?” Another wrote, “A moron paid for a plane to write Trump 2020 in the sky above Sydney ... a week after the orange cry baby got his a**e handed to him 15 000 km away from here.”

Making it clear that the people of Australia do not share the same views as of the Republican party under Trump’s leadership, a user wrote, “To the d**khead who sky-wrote Trump 2020 over Sydney's sky today: piss off we don't share your views.” “The genius who paid to have Trump 2020 written in the sky over the Inner West of Sydney is really embracing the phrase “more money than sense” #Election2020,” wrote another.

One tweet read, “Trump 2020 appeared in the sky over Sydney today. It soon became difficult to read and eventually, incomprehensible. Then just disappeared altogether.” It almost sounded like an analogy with Trump’s reign as the US president.

Another tweet called out the company that has allegedly wrote the slogan on the Sydney sky saying, “They just wrote  TRUMP 2020 in our beautiful Sydney sky on the anniversary of the third  year marriage  bill where they wrote NO!.” Calling the person who did this a “chump supporter” a person wrote, “I'm in Sydney Australia and some rich f**k Sky Wrote "Trump 2020" wtf......we got Aussies here who are Chump supporters.”

The online discussion, however, has not all been anti-Trump, with some users showing support for Trump.
