Skywriters scrawled a message for Republican front-runner Donald Trump over Friday’s Rose Bowl Parade.
“America is great! Trump is disgusting,” one message written across the sky in Pasadena, California, read.
Other messages written said “Anybody but Trump” and “Iowans dump Trump,” according to Twitter users who captured the aerial feat.

Millionaire real estate developer Stan Pate, a [crscore]Marco Rubio[/crscore] backer, was behind the stunts, CBS News reported.
“There’s no place for him,” Pate, from Alabama, said. “He needs to go back to one of his tall towers and build buildings and whatever else he does. He’s a despicable man.”
“The idea that you can hate your way to the presidency is disgusting to me,” he told CNN. “I’m tired of hearing it, he’s in the way of us selecting the right person for the job.”
Pate also pledged to continue his attacks against Trump. “This is not over,” he said.
