Donald Trump likes to think that everyone likes him. Rounda Rousey "likes" him. The Hispanics even "love him."

Now, Trump has finally courted one of the hardest-to-reach demographics: traffic signs.

In Corona, California, last week, one of the city's traffic signs was programmed to read: "Inland Empire supports Donald Trump. Merry Xmas. Vote Donald Trump." It was captured on video by someone passing by.

A Caltrans spokesman told ABC7 that the sign had been programmed without the agency's knowledge. While it's unclear how the prank was carried out, hacking road signs is a historically easy prank. Users who have access to a standardized traffic sign manual are often able to manipulate the system, simply by changing the password.
