A group of comedians hung up fake Army recruitment posters with a picture of Donald Trump Jr.
The Good Liars, a comedy duo featuring Jason Selvig and Davram Stiefler, posted the phony signs in the windows of the Armed Forces Career Center in Brooklyn, New York, with the caption: “I’m not enlisting, but you should.”

The group posted a picture of the posters on Instagram, adding, “We put up some [honest signs] at the Army Recruitment Center. Hopefully we aren’t going to war, but if we did, we know one guy who won’t enlist.”
Selvig and Stiefler elaborated on the decision to hang the posters, telling HuffPost, “In the wake of Trump’s latest reckless foreign policy actions that could very easily result in more and more troops being sent to the Middle East, we thought the public deserved a reminder of who the Trumps are.”
The Good Liars have targeted Trump Jr. before, including swapping out the dust covers on his book Triggered and replacing them with covers that said: “Daddy, Please Love Me.”
