When a woman in a Southwest apartment building saw that her upstairs neighbor had posted a large Donald Trump banner on his balcony, she hung a banner that said “Nope,” with an arrow pointing up to the Trump sign. In response, he swapped out his Trump sign for a Hillary sign. So she took down her “Nope” sign. The building faces Nationals Park.
