Trump Unity Bridge

[4] It features American flags, signage including six-foot-tall letters spelling "Trump", a carved wooden eagle, and a replica of the Statue of Liberty.

[5][6] Rob Cortis, a resident of Livonia, Michigan, has owned the bridge since 1985 and originally intended it to be a backdrop for wedding celebrations and photographs.

[4] The float was vandalized in Alexandria, Virginia, en route to the Mother of All Rallies in Washington, D.C.[10][11] In March 2019, Cortis interrupted an interfaith vigil in downtown Cleveland, Ohio commemorating the victims of the Christchurch mosque shootings by driving the float past twice while playing loud music.

[12] On November 6, 2020, the float was impounded by Detroit Police for having an invalid license plate, and Cortis was taken into custody because of an outstanding warrant for a charge of disturbing the peace.

Cortis was driving an ambulance hauling the Unity Bridge back to his home from an event opposing high school mask mandates when he hit another vehicle and spun into a telephone pole.
