What's that up in the sky?

It's a bird!

It's a plane!

It's a banner flying over former Republican President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence mocking him for getting raided by the FBI.

That was the scene Wednesday at Mar-a-Lago after someone hired a plane to pull a banner over Trump's residence just days after the FBI searched his home and seized several boxes of documents believed to contain classified documents that pose a threat to national security.

And since Trump might be in *a lot* of trouble—like federal offense-level trouble—the banner's message was short and sweet.

It read:

"HA HA HA HA HA HA."

See video of the stunt below.

The gag was pulled by Thomas Kennedy, a writer and Democratic organizer from Miami.

He and some friends raised $1800 to have a pilot pull the banner over Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday, two days after the Monday morning raid.

Making the stunt even funnier is the fact that at that point, we didn't even know anything about the gravity of the situation—the FBI had yet to speak out about the raid.

It wasn't until the following day that we found out the FBI was specifically seeking not only classified material, but top-secret documents pertaining to America's nuclear weapons program—both potential felonies.

But even without those details, it was already obvious that "HA HA HA HA HA HA" pretty much said it all--to many it felt like the first domino falling in the collapse of Trump's dictatorial ambitions.

Kennedy obliquely referenced this in his tweet, writing:

"Here is video of our banner saying HAHAHA flying over Mar-a-Lago today."
"This is how you treat wannabe authoritarians like Trump. You ridicule and mock them."

And people on Twitter were absolutely here for it.










In an interview with USA Today, Kennedy elaborated further on why he and his friends pulled the stunt.

“We thought it would be funny."
"From our perspective, Trump is a bully and we wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine.”

Money well spent.

Mamdani Speaks Out After Releasing 9/11 Records That Reveal NYC Officials Knew Air Around Ground Zero Was 'Toxic'

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani spoke out after releasing more than 170,000 pages of undisclosed city records to the public ahead of the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks that prove city officials knew that the air was "toxic" around Ground Zero during recovery efforts.

Documents reviewed by the New York Times before their release indicate that asbestos concentrations in dust collected throughout the area exceeded hazardous thresholds in the days after the World Trade Center collapsed. Testing also found asbestos and other contaminants in the air and dust at levels considered unsafe.

Trump Slammed After Jokingly Lamenting That 9/11 Hero Is 'More Famous' Than He Is In Tone-Deaf Speech

After speaking during the “Steel Across America” event put on by the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, President Donald Trump was criticized for lamenting that one hero of the September 11 terror attacks is "more famous" than him.

Trump was referring to Welles Crowther, an equities trader at Sandler O’Neill & Partners who was working in the South Tower on Sept. 11, 2001. Crowther, who became known for wearing a red bandana, helped evacuate people from the building and is credited with saving at least 18 lives before the tower collapsed.
