A billboard comparing former President Donald Trump to the late Cuban President Fidel Castro is torn down near the Palmetto Expressway.

Now it will roll down the streets alongside motorists in South Florida instead.

The poster, which went up on Monday, sparked a heated reaction from some members of Miami’s Cuban community for comparing Trump to a dictator. Critics said the parallel was historically inaccurate and an insult to exiles.

Claude Taylor, founder of Mad Dog PAC, the political action committee behind the original billboard, told the Miami Herald that the Castro message would be removed on Saturday and replaced with a new image showing Trump in an orange jumpsuit with a judge’s gavel swinging across from him, with the words “Convicted Felon” looming over the scene.

A jury in New York found Trump guilty last month on 34 counts related to hush money payments to a porn star with whom he allegedly had an affair. The former president claims he is the victim of a political witch hunt, while his critics are using the convictions to argue he is unfit for the office he is seeking again this year.

The ad comparing Trump to Castro will be featured on the side of a van that will drive around the Miami area throughout the weekend, Taylor said. The same truck will then travel to Atlanta, where the first presidential debate between Trump and President Joe Biden will take place on Thursday, June 27, Taylor said.

“The Castro billboard will be torn down and the convicted felons billboard will be put up,” Taylor said. “And I have a new billboard truck with the same message for Miami. It will be on the streets tomorrow.”

Republican U.S. Rep. María Elvira Salazar of Miami said in a written statement that she had contacted Lamar Advertising, the company that owns the billboard, and the vice president and general manager for South Florida informed her that the billboard would be removed “immediately.”

“The truth compels them to take this action. I am glad they are doing the right thing and showing solidarity with the pain and suffering of the Cuban exile community,” said Salazar, who is Cuban American.

“Not on my Loteria card”

Not all Hispanic Republicans were upset about the billboard.

“Cubans blocking the highway in protest of billboards comparing Trump to Castro wasn’t on my lottery ticket, but I’m in anyway!” Mike Madrid, a Republican political consultant and co-founder of the anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project, posted on X.

Meanwhile, some Democrats and critics of the likely Republican nominee praised the ad, saying there was a similarity between Trump and the late Cuban dictator who brought communism to Cuba in the late 1950s.

“The same malicious MAGA Cubans who are freaking out over this poignant billboard message — saying it’s ‘an offense to compare Fidel to Trump’ — are the same MAGA hypocrites who were dead silent when MAGA @marcorubio absurdly compared our U.S. justice system to the show trials of the Castro regime,” Miami Democratic pollster Fernand Amandi said on X.

He was referring to comments made by Rubio, a US senator from Florida, on Fox News comparing Trump’s criminal proceedings to trials of former officials in the government of former Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista, many of whom were executed by the Castro regime.

The billboard is the latest example of how Miami’s politics and immigrant history are an important part of domestic politics in South Florida. Local and national politicians appealing to Miami residents often use words, images and comparisons that are familiar to them. This includes Democrats portraying Trump as caudillo — a stereotypical Latin American strongman – or Republicans who accuse Biden of being a socialist in the style of left-wing Latin American leaders.

On Friday afternoon, Salazar informed her constituents via social media that the advertising company had informed her that the Castro poster would be removed at midnight that day.
