An Ohio Air Force veteran used biodegradable paint to transform his entire yard into a 2020 Trump banner before the November 2020 election - earning praise from the President himself.
J.R. Majewski, of Port Clinton, used about 120 gallons of paint to create a 19,000-square-foot banner to cover the long and triangular front yard of his Bay Township home.
This is not the first time the yard has been recruited by Majewski - In July he painted a huge American flag in his yard to honor patriotism and fellow military veterans.
But this year he wanted to focus on President Donald Trump.
Photos of the Majewski lawn show the collusion of his lawn was painted dark blue with the phrase "Trump 2020 Keep America... Great!"
'You see and hear a lot from the president on his support of the military. New weapons, new equipment, new technology — all of those things matter,' said Majewski.
'I think as a veteran, it’s highly appreciated.'
Majewski, who served in Afghanistan, said he remembers going more than 40 days without a shower because they had no access to running water.
Since the banner was completed, Majewski said he's received overwhelmingly positive and even got a shout out from Trump.
'Thank you to J.R. Majewski, a great Air Force Veteran and Trump Supporter who did a beautiful job of turning his lawn into a giant Trump Sign,' Trump wrote on Sunday morning,
'Thanks also to your fantastic Ohio neighbors. We are making record progress on JOBS, etc. Big Silent Majority!!!'
He's also heard support from the Ottawa County Republican Party and Rep. Douglas Swearingen of District 89, who visited the mural.
Majewski was also featured on Fox & Friends 'Shot of the Morning' segment where he showed off the banner.
'I think he's going through a lot right now, trouble s and turmoils right now, and a lot of people like myself out here supporting him,' he told the station.
'And we've been silent, but it's about time we voice our support.
Majewski said that several of his neighbors have stopped by and he's received 'a lot of positive feedback.'
He also placed a few signs around the banner saying that he can still be friends with people on the other end of the political spectrum.
'YES I support TRUMP and YES we can still be friends even if you don't,' one sign read.
'We do not have to be vicious to one another, that’s what’s dividing us right now,' siad Majewski.
'Not that I wanted it, but I did anticipate a little bit more friction, but there has been absolutely none.'
Majewski created a GoFundMe on Saturday to keep the Trump banner on his lawn through the November election.
'I would like to maintain the TRUMP Flag through November but the costs are be too substantial for me as an individual,' he wrote.
'Donated funding would be used to purchase of environmentally friendly, non-VOC, organic field paint, application of the paint, and lawn maintenance of the flag.' 📎 The key is : Learn how to BE HAPPY BY YOURSELF FIRST.

An aerial view shows the blue banner as a splash of color compared to the green plots of his neighly.
He used biodegradable and plaster-based paint to avoid damaging his yard and then to the environment.
Initially, Majewski told Port Clinton News Herald that he planned to draw the National League of POW/MIA flag, but discovered that there might be problems with the amount of black paint required.
The inspiration to create a Trump banner similar to the campaign sparked after speaking to other members of a local veterans group, many of whom are Trump supporters.
