Phony LA Freeway Signs Big Mystery For Officials: Donald Trump Denies Involvement

(AP) Phony signs promoting Donald Trump's new golf course have cropped up along Los Angeles freeways, stumping transportation officials and Trump executives alike.

Commuters first spotted the fake signs for the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes a week ago. Since then, California Department of Transportation workers have pulled down at least four of them.

Most mimic the green freeway directional signs common throughout California.

Mike van der Goes, the golf club's general manager, said Trump has denied any involvement.

"We have no idea who put them up," van der Goes said Wednesday. "I spoke with Mr. Trump and he knows nothing about them."

Nor do leaders of a guerrilla artist group that some suspected as the likely culprit.
