Rather than support the presidential candidate, this bus mocks him and his personal brand. It's decked out in slogans like 'Make Fruit Punch Great Again' and 'Hasta la vista, Donny' and acts as a moving art installation driven by its creators, performance art duo Mary Mihelic and David Gleeson.

Mihelic and Gleeson, who refer to themselves as t.Rutt, have been traveling across the United States in the bus, which they purchased off of Craigslist in late September.
