A North Carolina driver wanted to prevent Donald Trump from attempting to make America Great Again by running over one of the presidential candidate's street signs. Once the plan was achieved, the man, who pulled the move in his Jeep, decided to turn to social media.
As he had caught the whole shenanigan on camera, with the footage giving the world a clear view on how he run over the Trump sign in Wilmington, Julien Schuessler, the driver of the Wrangler used for the stunt, posted the footage on his Facebook page.

Given the buzz Donald Trump has managed to generate, as the candidate has gathered tons and tons of supporters, as well as a massive number of people who would do anything to keep him from winning the presidential race, the video went viral - as you are reading this, the clip has over 4.6 million views on Facebook alone.

Local police got wind of the stunt and started investigating the matter, with the authorities jumping the social media bandwagon by posting an announcement on their Twitter account on March 16. It took the cops one day to charge the man and you can see the result in the Wilmington Police tweet below.

While most Jeeps admittedly make you feel unstoppable and the presidential race can easily see one getting carried away, there are no excuses for running over a campaign sign. Here's to hoping the 20-year-old Wrangler driver learned his lesson and the shenanigan serves as an example of what is and what is not OK when behind the wheel.

P.S.: Now that the story is over, the viral video remains posted on the man's Facebook page, making for one piece of expensive trophy.
