“(For those hoping to snap a pic with the sign, this was just a temporary install — foam sign courtesy of the Daily Show),” he added in a follow-up tweet.

The sign was sent after Keller went on "The Daily Show" and said the city never received $200,000 it tried to charge Trump's campaign for a rally he hosted during his presidency.

“Trump came for a rally and we decided to bill him, because the cost to the city were tremendous,” Keller told Jordan Klepper on the Comedy Central show. “They made us shut down downtown. We had to close City Hall.”

“In my mind, he owes us a lot more because there were about a day and a half where we couldn’t even function as a city,” he added.

The city hired a collection agency after Trump’s campaign would not return its phone calls, Keller says.
