Sticker Mule to convert ‘Vote for Trump’ sign to ‘America Loves Trump,’ to become latest New York tourist attraction

Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino pushed for the effort to erect the large pro-Trump sign on the building which used to be marked with a sign for the leather piece manufacturing company, FOWNES. The building was previously abandoned after FOWNES left but was bought up by Sticker Mule in 2019.

Although the company initially faced some legal trouble from the city at the beginning, Sticker Mule was able to keep the sign up on top of the building, leading to multiple events at the sign for the election and other occasions.

The move from Sticker Mule is part of Constantino's effort to promote unity across the country as well as improve the economy in upstate New York. “Everyone likes tributes to historic figures and tourism drives economic growth,” Constantino, who is also considering a run for Congress, said about the sign. Constantino has floated the idea to run in order to fill GOP Chairwoman Elise Stefanik's seat as she has been picked as UN Ambassador for the incoming Trump administration.

The sign will also double as a backdrop for a public park the company plans on building in Amsterdam, New York. The change in the sign will be going through the approval process with the city and is slated for a Spring 2025 installation. Sticker Mule is expecting to spend over $1 million on the park.

“The ‘America Loves Trump’ sign and park promote unity and economic growth,” Constantino added. “People avoid living in New York because they think it’s a dangerous state for Republicans. I’m running for Congress to bring people back to New York and to make the state safe for people from all political parties. The sign helps achieve that objective while I’m still a private citizen."
