Melania Trump Movie Posters Being Defaced Around LA With Hitler Mustaches
Promotional posters for the documentary “Melania” about First Lady Melania Trump have been extensively vandalized across Los Angeles. This has led the local transit authority to reroute some buses carrying the advertisements, highlighting concerns over political tensions impacting public spaces.
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro) stated it moved buses featuring the ads after observing a significant escalation in damage at city bus shelters. The agency described the vandalism as “extensive and severe” and acted to protect its property and passengers.
Photographs show posters defaced with graffiti, including devil horns, expletives, and a Hitler-style moustache drawn on Melania Trump’s image. Some included text referencing Eva Braun and unfounded allegations related to Jeffrey Epstein.
LA Metro officials clarified that the targeted bus shelters are operated by the city, not the transit authority itself. However, the consistent damage raised concerns that buses could be next. A spokesperson cited a need for caution given past vandalism during periods of heightened public activity.
The vandalism coincides with the final promotional push for the Amazon MGM Studios documentary, which has a substantial marketing budget. The film, listing Melania Trump as a producer, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the period leading up to President Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration.
An activist group claimed responsibility for a separate billboard but denied involvement in the bus stop vandalism. Public reactions have been mixed, with some riders condemning the property damage and others connecting their criticism of the first lady to her husband’s politics.
The incident underscores how politically charged figures can turn public advertising into a flashpoint. With no arrests reported, the vandalism highlights ongoing tensions, demonstrating how marketing campaigns can become entangled in broader national conflicts.
