On August 1st, 2025, a provocative anti-Trump campaign surfaced on public transportation units in Acapulco, Mexico, sparking both local and international attention. Ten buses were outfitted with bold signage reading, “Somos mexicanos y tu madre te mentamos”—a graphic and culturally charged phrase aimed at former U.S. President Donald Trump.
The campaign was financed by activist Laura Caballero, who reportedly spent 3,200 pesos per bus to display the message. The slogan, which loosely translates to “We are Mexicans and we curse your mother,” reflects deep-seated frustration over Trump’s past rhetoric and policies toward Mexico and immigrants.
These buses circulated through key routes in Acapulco, including tourist-heavy areas, making the campaign highly visible to both locals and visitors. While some praised the initiative as a bold act of free expression, others criticized it as offensive and inappropriate for public spaces. Authorities have since considered removing the signage due to its controversial nature.
This campaign is part of a broader pattern of grassroots protest art in Mexico, where public transportation has often served as a canvas for political expression. It underscores the lingering tensions between Mexican communities and Trump-era policies, even years after his presidency.
