New Yorkers awoke on Easter Sunday to find that the only thing that had risen in Central Park was a mysterious tombstone for GOP presidential candidate and New York real estate magnate Donald Trump. 

While the tombstone, whose epitaph reads, "Made America Hate Again," sports Trump's birth year of 1946, it leaves his date of death open.

Plenty of people shared photos of the tombstone on social media, but no one seems to know what it means, other than being a prank of questionable taste. 

By evening, the tombstone had been removed by park officials. 

As for the candidate himself, he doesn't seem too worried about the whole thing, as he maintains his intense focus on the presidential race at hand.
