True story, back in the 90's my parents had a temp agency. We had a lot of govt contracts and tons of engineers at all the govt contractors something like 300 people working for us at that time.

I was just out of high school so wasn't involved in it, but I always found it very funny that when ever there was an election coming up, the various campaigns would always call us looking for temp workers to hold signs at the various high traffic street corners.

Now this is back in the 90's in FL and they would pay us $12-15/hr to get people to stand on the side of the road holding a sign for the candidate..

Every time I see these dumb ass Trump supporters holding "printed" signs I always wonder if it's just some broke yahoo getting paid $10/hr to hold the sign. I mean you can always tell a "real" supporter's sign vs a guy who was handed a professional printed sign by "someone organizing an event.

Looking at those signs they are obviously printed at a print shop and 2 of the guys have "parade" flagpole rests to hold them up.. (probably OSHA required for "paid" workers ) There have also been several times people have posted up ads looking for "pro Trump protesters whenever Trump is having a rally..
