'Whose opponents are more aggressive?': Man conducts social experiment to find out if a Bernie or Trump sign provokes a more violent reaction from passersby
- Joey Salads decided to conduct a social experiment on the presidential race
- He went around holding up a sign declaring his support for Donald Trump
- He had abuse hurled at him and his sign forcibly removed from his hands - including by some Bernie Sanders campaigners
- But when holding a Sanders sign he said he was only given thumbs up
They are at opposite ends of the political spectrum - and their campaigns illicit very different responses, if this social experiment is anything to go by.
YouTube prankster Joey Salads decided to conduct the experiment in Los Angeles and separately went around holding up signs for Trump and Sanders.
The video-maker wanted to test which sign got a more aggressive response. And the result was overwhelmingly the sign carrying Trump's name.
YouTube prankster Joey Salads decided to conduct the experiment in Los Angeles to see how people would react when carrying a Donald Trump sign
One man said he was extremely offended by the sign and even chased Salads down the street to make him put it down
He then appeared to get physical with Salads before the YouTube prankster told him to he was just conducting an experiment
Opponents of Trump were far more vocal and aggressive when he was holding up a sign supporting the Republican front runner with two even turning violent.
The result may be surprising to most after recent stories of angry Trump fans attacking protesters at The Donald's rallies.
Meanwhile when holding the Sanders sign, Salads didn't receive any abuse and even remarked people were giving him the thumbs up.
His experiment began with him holding up a sign saying Trump, while he shouted: 'Vote for Trump.'
But one man on a skateboard approached Salads and told him: 'I'm offended by it to tell you the truth.'
In another clip a man approaches Salads and his sign and tells him that presidential candidate Trump is a 'f***ing racist'
The man then grabs the sign and throws it to the floor when Salads says that he likes economic policies
He later tells Salads 'F*** you' before ramming his skateboard into the sign.
And when Salads says: 'Come on, you're getting pretty violent', the man drops his skateboard and goes to attack the vlogger.
He then repeatedly says: 'Put the sign down man', and then tries to grab the sign from Salads' hand before pushing him.
In another clip while holding his sign on a roadside, one car throws a drink at Salads out of the window while shouting 'Feel the Bern!'
In a separate clip, another man can be seen approaching Salads and his sign saying: 'Trump is a f***ing racist man. Are you a racist?'
But when Salads says he likes his economic policies, again the man grabs the sign and throws it to the floor.
Meanwhile, as he stands on the side of a road holding up his Trump sign, a driver opens his window, shouting 'Feel the Bern' before throwing a drinks cup at him.
However, when he stands in the exact same spot holding a Sanders sign, nothing happens.
Salads ends the video saying: 'As soon as I put a Bernie sign out, those middle fingers turn into thumbs up.'
