Chicago Woman Caught on Camera Smearing Dog Poop on a Trump-Themed Cybertruck in Broad Daylight
It’s the kind of story that sounds too bizarre to be true — but in Chicago, truth often plays out stranger than fiction. A woman was caught on camera allegedly smearing dog poop on a Tesla Cybertruck decorated with an American flag wrap and Donald Trump’s golden signature, setting off a viral storm that has the internet buzzing.
According to reports, the truck belongs to John Evans, a visitor from Savannah, Georgia, who was in Chicago for a business conference. Evans said he parked his Cybertruck in the Northalsted neighborhood — an area known for its lively nightlife and political murals — and left it for a few hours. When he returned, the back of his Tesla looked like something out of a prank show gone too far. There, smeared across the tailgate, was dog feces — and the wordless message it carried was unmistakable.
Evans told reporters that he was both disgusted and shocked. “I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “I walked up to the car and immediately smelled something off. When I looked closer, I saw what she had done.” His custom vehicle — wrapped in an American flag design with lightning graphics and the former president’s autograph in gold foil — had clearly drawn attention, but not the kind he expected.
What made the situation even stranger was that Evans’ Tesla Cybertruck’s built-in camera system recorded the entire thing. The footage clearly showed a woman with tattoos on both arms walking by with a dog on a leash, glancing at the truck, and then — in a move that stunned social media — pulling out a bag and smearing its contents across the tailgate before walking away as if nothing had happened.
The video quickly spread online after Evans shared it, prompting outrage from Trump supporters and laughter from some corners of the internet. Many users debated whether this was a political statement, an act of vandalism, or simply a random moment of poor judgment.
Local authorities confirmed that a complaint had been filed, and police are reviewing surveillance footage from nearby buildings. So far, the woman in the video has not been identified. A Chicago Police Department spokesperson called the act “a form of property vandalism” and said that depending on damage costs and intent, it could lead to misdemeanor charges.
Evans, for his part, said the situation wasn’t about politics. “People can disagree — that’s fine,” he said. “But this isn’t free speech. It’s vandalism. It’s childish.” He added that he wrapped his Cybertruck as a tribute to what he sees as patriotic art, not as a provocation. “I’m not out here looking for a fight. I’m just proud of my country, and I liked the design.”
While some online commenters joked about the surreal nature of the situation, others pointed out that incidents like this reflect growing tension in American cities, where political identity often plays out in everyday life — even in parking spaces. Chicago, a city known for its deep political roots and divided opinions, has seen its share of odd confrontations over cars, signs, and flags.
In the days following the incident, Evans’ video continued to gain traction, with clips reposted by major media outlets and political commentators alike. Some users claimed to have seen the woman in the area before, describing her as a regular in the Northalsted neighborhood. Others speculated that she may have been reacting impulsively to the pro-Trump design.
Regardless of motive, the act has reignited online debates about civility and the strange new battlegrounds of political expression. As one commenter put it, “We’ve gone from arguing on Facebook to smearing cars. That’s where we are now.”
As for Evans, he says he’s not letting the incident ruin his trip. “I got the car cleaned up. It’s fine. But I’ll tell you one thing — Chicago’s not boring.” He even joked that the viral attention might turn his Cybertruck into an internet celebrity. “I didn’t think my car would get this kind of fame,” he laughed. “But I guess everything gets political these days — even dog poop.”
For now, police are continuing their investigation, and Evans says he hopes the woman is found — not for revenge, but for accountability. “It’s not about Trump or me,” he said. “It’s about respect. We can disagree all we want, but there’s no excuse for smearing that kind of message, literally or otherwise.”
In a city where politics meets art, and art meets controversy, this bizarre act left both sides of the spectrum shaking their heads — for entirely different reasons.
