But the Chicago artist made an exception when it came to President Donald Trump, who he describes as a “carnival barker” and “terrible human” who has dragged down the country’s discourse.

“Trump drives me crazy,” Bachor, 54, who is better known for filling in potholes with cement and topping them off with his playful images, told HuffPost this week. “I wanted to have an answer if one of my twin boys asked me in the future what I did during this dark time for our country.”

Bachor has twice used his pothole art to take aim at Trump. He dropped this “LIAR” mosaic, complete with a gold-surrounded Russian flag, near Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago in 2017:


It remains there to this day.

Bachor acknowledged it divided opinion among his fans, accustomed to his earlier “lighthearted, fun” mosaics. But he remains unrepentant.

“Protesting crowds are fine, but I like the staying power of my statement piece so very close to his building here,” he said. “Love it.”
