WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Towering over Southern Boulevard, just west of Interstate 95, is a billboard that reads 'Trump is not above the law.'

It went up Tuesday by the nonprofit social justice organization Moveon.org, the same day former president Donald Trump returned from his arraignment in New York.

According to MoveOn on Twitter, the billboard, which is between Palm Beach International Airport and Mar-a-Lago, was intended for Trump to see while returning home from New York.

WPTV spoke with Hayden Jordan, who started the 'Prosecute Trump' petition through the nonprofit, saying it's time to hold people accountable.

'It's not just Trump that isn't above the law,' Jordan said. 'No politician or any person in this nation is above the law, regardless of their status, how much money they have, their standing on politics. No one has the right to be above the law whatsoever.'

At last check, the petition had more than 330,000 signatures.

'At most, what we can hope for is that there will be people in Florida that will see this,' Jordan said. 'They will agree and do what little is within their power to make sure that we do see a change throughout the United States.'

The former president drove past the billboard Tuesday as he made his way to Mar-a-Lago, where there was a man who went by the name Luke Waterman, the only one along Southern Boulevard not in support of the former president.

'I've had people yell at me, insult me, things like that,' Waterman said.

His sign read, 'Lock him up.'

'I don't say it that he should be locked up now,' Waterman said. 'I think justice should be served. I think there should be a trial. He's presumed innocent until then.'

Waterman said he wasn't intimidated by the large pro-Trump presence.

'This is my local place and this is his house, so I figured I'd know he's coming by here, so I'd like him to know that not everyone is supporting him,' Waterman said.
