The Portland area is not a safe space for people with license plates that say "TRUMP," a Tualatin man told KATU on Tuesday.

Brian Trump told that station that since the beginning of the 2016 presidential election, he's received "vulgar language, mean looks, flipping you off, that kind of thing," while driving his car with vanity plates that bear his last name.

"I thought it would be cool to have my name on there, proud of the name," he said. So he got the plates nine years ago. After he got married, his wife got her own version of the plates: "KTRUMP."

Trump told KATU that three men intimidated his wife because of those plates. "It's kind of scary," he said.

Still, Trump said, "I'm sticking with it. I'm not going to let someone bully me out of my plate."

Instead, he's creating a vinyl sticker for his back windshield that says, "It's my last name and I've got better hair."

He hopes that clears up the confusion.
