A black billboard has appeared along a highway in Michigan, United States, inscribed with white Arabic lettering that has trolled Donald Trump.

The sign counters Trump and his anti-Muslim, racist rhetoric. It reads “Donald Trump doesn’t know what this means, but he’s scared of it anyway.”

Behind the advert is the Nuisance Committee, a group started by the creator of the popular Cards Against Humanity card game. A press release announced that it targeted Arabic-speaking voters ahead of presidential elections due November 8.

“We intentionally did not put the translation on the board because I like the idea of people who do not speak Arabic having to ask their friends who do speak Arabic for them to translate the board for them," Melissa Harris, spokesperson for the group, told WWJ Newsradio 950. 

Trump has caused tremendous controversy after announcing that, if he gets elected president of the United States, he will impose a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country.
