MAGA-loving military veteran transforms his entire yard into a giant Trump banner
A MAGA loving veteran took politically inspired yard signs to a whole new level, turning his entire front lawn into a massive banner for President Donald Trump.
J.R. Majewski, of Bay Township, Ohio, used up about 120 gallons of paint to create a 19,000-square-foot banner that read “Trump 2020” across his yard, which wasn’t an entirely new experience for him.
Last year in early July, Majewski painted a huge American flag in his yard as both a patriotic gesture and a way to support his fellow military veterans.
Originally, Majewski said he had planned to paint the well-known National League of Families POW/MIA flag, but later found that there could be issues with the amount of black paint needed.
Instead, he went to something bigger and brighter.
Using biodegradable, chalk based paint that will not harm the environment, Majewski painted a blue “Trump 2020” banner.
After speaking with fellow members of a local veterans group, many of whom are also Trump supporters, Majewski said he decided to go for it.
“You see and hear a lot from the president on his support of the military. New weapons, new equipment, new technology, all of those things matter,” he told local media.
“I think as a veteran, it’s highly appreciated.”
Majewski served in Afghanistan and said he can remember going more than 40 days without a shower because they had no running water.
According to Majewski, the completion of the project has received nothing but positive feedback.
He said he’s heard support from the Ottawa County Republican Party and state Rep Douglas Swearingen, who visited the display himself.
“We’ve had a really good turnout. A lot of my neighbors have come by and I’ve had a lot of positive feedback,” Majewski said.

Majewski also has a few signs around the display, noting he can still be friends with people who aren’t Trump supporters
“We do not have to be vicious to one another; that’s what’s dividing us right now,” he said.
“Not that I wanted it, but I did anticipate a little bit more friction. But there has been absolutely none.”
