A joint investigation of New York and federal authorities revealed the man behind the Donald Trump tombstone placed in Central Park in late March.
The tombstone was engraved with Trump’s name and birth year, with the year of death left blank.
Underneath was an epitaph that read: “Made America Hate Again,” a twist on Trump’s real slogan: “Make America Great Again.”
The 420-pound chunk of granite was almost immediately the subject of investigation of the New York Police Department in conjunction with FBI agents.
They found that the man behind the tombstone is one Brian Whiteley, 33, an artist who resides in Brooklyn.
The artist, who declined to confirm his name, told the New York Times that he was “trying to remind Donald what type of legacy he’s leaving behind.”
