LONDON -- At least according to street art, Donald Trump isn't the most popular figure in Britain at the moment.

Just last month, an unnamed Londoner painted a giant mural of Trump purely so he could hurl eggs at it. Now another street artist has created a painting comparing the Republican candidate to Hitler.

The following artwork was made by a London-based street artist known as Pegasus. He painted it last Thursday on the side of the Hen and Chicken pub in Bristol, UK. Pegasus told Mashable the piece took over five days in total -- two to design, two to draw, one to cut and two hours to paint.

"The man will become another tyrant in history," Pegasus told Mashable.

"Every hate speech makes him sound more and more like a dictator instead of a presidential candidate," he said. "I wanted to send that message in the most obvious way."

"History often repeats itself," Pegasus added. "People are too often ignorant to the fact or surrender to fear mongering. Hopefully my image, along with thousands of other images created by artists all over the world will give voters the wake up call they need."
