A woman in Chicago has been filmed vandalising a Tesla Cybertruck decorated with a pro-Trump design by smearing dog faeces on it, according to reports. The vehicle's owner, John Evans, who was visiting from Savannah, Georgia, for a conference, said he parked his car in the city's Northalstead neighbourhood on Wednesday.
Evans told Fox 32 that his Cybertruck, which features an American flag decal with President Donald Trump's gold-leaf signature, was targeted. Security footage from the vehicle captured a woman wiping pet waste across the exterior. Evans suggested the Trump-themed decals may have provoked the attack, describing the perpetrator's actions as 'mental illness'.
After sharing images of the alleged offender on X, internet users claimed to have identified her and her place of work, leading to negative reviews being left for the business. Evans said he did not file a police report, believing the online backlash was sufficient punishment. 'I think that America is happy to help other Americans with accountability for bad actors,' he said.
The woman has not been charged with a crime. The business's Instagram account appeared to mock the incident with a post containing offensive language. Evans and the dog daycare centre did not respond to requests for comment.
