"I've been called a communist, a Satan worshiper," she told USA Today. "I've been told I'm a 'very, very sick person.' I'm not sure what that means. I haven't been answering the phone.

On Twitter, angry pro-Trump users sent plenty of insults Fiorito's way. The artist, who lives in Santa Monica, California, anticipated the backlash.

The owner of the billboard said the artwork would remain up for as long as Trump remained president. Perhaps the commander-in-chief will respond to the controversy after he's done playing a few rounds of golf ... again.
