Maybe only temporary, but the Paulverizer currently seems apolitical.

[Dean Jeffrey, 09/03/2022]

Paulverizer had a Trump banner on his base in 2016. It was never clear to us if this was an endorsement or vandalism.

The Cyborg Muffler Man is still standing, definitely worth a stop. Sign still there though, too.

Disruption is relative. No complaint here.

[Salty, 09/25/2017]

Those unfamiliar with Paulverizer's backstory may mistakenly assume he's a representation of President 45. But we all know that Trump isn't steered by a little driver in his chest.
