Donald Trump gets called out by many people daily for his choice of words, unruly actions, etc and this time, a road construction sign does all the work. In West Dallas (Texas), someone was able to hack into the Texas Department of Transportation’s TxDOT system which controls what is shown on construction signs on the road.
The signs read “Bernie for President” as well as “Donald Trump Is A…Shape Shifting Lizard”.
I'm not sure this is what @TxDOT meant for this road sign to say… #Dallas @NBCDFW pic.twitter.com/4iPldtM9gJ

In addition, there was another sign that was a “little less divisive politically” and read “Work Is Canceled…Go Back Home”.
And we have a third hacked sign – though I think this one is a little less divisive politically. #Dallas @nbcdfw pic.twitter.com/TUp1Vj2M1G

But, the signs can’t be “operated remotely”. In other words, the slick hacker must have surely “broke the locks to physically re-program the signs before Tuesday morning”, according to a TxDOT correspondent.
Fox News says that while these words weren’t removed until 6:30am & then 7:30am, “tampering with a warning sign is misdemeanor crime that is punishable by up to $1,000 in fines and two years in jail”. Nonetheless, many early workers took to social media to report on the incident and many people seem to have agreed with these road construction words.
While we’re sure the hacker knows what he/she got themselves into, do you agree or disagree with the Trump verdict? Let us know by tagging us on Twitter @CelebMix!
