2:47Now PlayingA clothing company has put up a billboard in New York City's Time Square that depicts President Donald Trump being hog-tied by a woman clad in athletic wear.
The 30-foot-high billboard featuring a model binding a Trump look-alike with red, white and blue rope while stomping on his face, was put up Tuesday as part of an advertising campaign by Dhvani, a Portland-based clothing company.
Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr, tweaked the media Friday for not writing about the billboard sooner.
"Since you had time to thoroughly cover a stupid and tasteless meme seen by 8 people with incredible outrage, I figured you should dedicate the same time and outrage to this billboard in Times Square you hypocrities," he said in a tweet.
Trump Jr. was referring to news coverage of a parody video, played during a conference at Trump's Miami golf resort, depicting a caricature of Trump murdering members of the news media and other critics.
CEO of Dhvani Avi Brown told The Associated Press the billboard was intended to be a comment on the Trump administration's changes to the Title X family planning program blocking federal funding for health providers who refer patients for abortions.
According to Dhvani, the model in the billboard, Michal Mesa, is a Marine Corps veteran and middle school teacher.
Brown said there's been an increase of traffic to the company's website, along with an increase in sales, since the billboard went up.
