Trump welcomed to Atlanta by billboards flagging first visit since being 'convicted felon'
Former President Donald Trump arrived in Atlanta around 6 p.m. Thursday, and as he heads to the debate stage, the now-convicted felon will be greeted by some not-so-nice billboards.
The Democratic National Committee paid for five billboards to troll Trump over his recent felony convictions in his New York hush money case, according to Atlanta News First.
“Donald. Welcome to Atlanta for the first time since becoming a convicted felon," the billboard reads. "Congrats – or whatever…”
The signs will be tough to miss: They're along Interstate 85 and a third is on Interstate 75.
Fox 5 Atlanta called it a "tongue-in-cheek" welcome.
Jaime Harrison, chair of the DNC, said they "wanted to give Donald Trump a special welcome to Atlanta."
"We’ve got five of these billboards across town, so he won’t miss it," Harrison wrote Thursday on X.
"We believe everyone deserves a warm welcome to Atlanta," the DNC jabbed on the social media platform.
A mobile billboard was also spotted in the city with rotating messages, including one with the word "felon" over Trump's face.

The attacks were cheered on social media, with one user on X posting a GIF of Taylor Swift making a chef's kiss.
"The whatever part of that is pure genius! Cracks me up every time I see the billboards," wrote @bluewebby.
"Well done," wrote @demsmight, adding clapping emojis and a fire emoji.
"I need deet! Where in the ATL? I got to get a picture," wrote @planandplay1.
"Atlanta commuter here coming to say I LOVED seeing these. Also loved the 'Let’s Go Joe!' ones," wrote @zenjenriser.
