The headstone memorialized the [Republican presidential frontrunner](http://time.com/4273123/mexico-donald-trump-burn-effigy/ "undefined") — who by all accounts is still living — along with an epitaph, “Made America Hate Again,” according to NBC New York. It also had the real estate mogul’s year of birth, 1946, but no year of death. The city’s Parks Department pulled the tombstone from the park on Sunday, NBC reports. It’s unclear who erected the grave marker, which apparently appeared near Central Park’s Sheep’s Meadow overnight, [according to ABC 7](http://abc7.com/news/donald-trump-tombstone-mysteriously-appears-in-central-park/1265103/ "undefined"). \[[_NBC_](http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Trump-Tombstone-Surfaces-in-Central-Park-373680881.html "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4273405/donald-trump-tombstone-central-park/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4273405/donald-trump-tombstone-central-park/"},"headline":"Donald Trump Tombstone Mysteriously Appears in New York City","datePublished":"2016-03-28T11:22:52.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T09:24:58.849Z","description":"With the epitaph, “Made America Hate Again\"","url":"https://time.com/4273405/donald-trump-tombstone-central-park/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election topic"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Chan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-chan/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4273405/donald-trump-tombstone-central-park/","name":"Donald Trump Tombstone Mysteriously Appears in New York City"}}]}] ```
