WISCONSIN -- This campaign season, one Wisconsin resident hopes to use President Donald Trump's words against fellow Republican Gov. Scott Walker in his re-election campaign.

Granted, Trump and Walker have been political allies of late, teaming up to announce a $10 billion Taiwanese electronics plant in Racine County. But it wasn't always this way. During the 2016 Republican primary, Trump often had negative things to say about Walker - who at the time was also running to secure the GOP's presidential nomination. Dustin Buse, a self-described private citizen, said he wants to do what David Hogg is doing in Texas - posting Donald Trump tweets on billboards that repudiate Republican leaders.

"I would like to tell the people of Wisconsin what Donald Trump thinks about Scott Walker as a governor. I would like to use Donald Trump's actual tweet regarding Mr. Walker to go on billboards around the state. The tweet I would like to post is the following:" When people find out how bad a job Scott Walker has done in WI, they won't be voting for him. Massive deficit, bad jobs forecast, a mess.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 27, 2015 If Buse's effort here in Wisconsin looks familiar, that's because it is. Parkland school shooting survivor and gun control activist David Hogg reportedly raised close to $10,000 in less than 24 hours to fund a billboard display in Texas. That display features a Donald Trump tweet attacking Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).



Cruz is in a close race for the Senate against challenger Democratic Congressman Beto O'Rourke.

"I was inspired to create this page by Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg's effort in Texas," Buse told Patch. "In the Texas senate race Ted Cruz is running for reelection and received the endorsement of Mr. Trump. The endorsement flies in the face of what Mr. Trump once thought about Mr. Cruz when they were running for the presidential nomination."



Buse says that Trump's treatment of Cruz is a lot like his treatment of Walker: they were once political enemies worth beating up on social media, but now they're allies in Trump's turbulent presidency. "My goal in imitating this effort is to illustrate to Wisconsinites across the state what Mr. Trump thought of Mr. Walker's efforts as governor of Wisconsin. I would like these billboards to be published in areas where Mr. Walker won the reelection campaign," he told Patch. "I am looking to do this as a private and concerned citizen of the state of Wisconsin and am not affiliated with the Democratic party."
