Posters of the US president with a European flag plastered over his face have been appearing in the French city.
"This time, I will register myself and vote," the poster reads.
The advert, organised by Strasbourg city council, attempts to put fear into voters' minds at the prospect of populists like Trump gaining ground in Europe.
"It is normal that Strasbourg (as co-host of the European Parliament) plays a role to get citizens to register for the election," said Jean-François Lanneluc, director of communications at Strasbourg city council.
"Europe remains a kind of model to support against the isolationist temptations that Trump embodies."
Strasbourg, like the rest of Europe, will go to the polls at the end of May 2019 to elect their MEPs.
The 2014 European Parliament elections saw historically low voter turnout, averaging at 42.61% across Europe and 42.43% in France.
Comment: A populist is not necessarily an isolationist, because what Trump is attempting to do for America isn't necessarily what's needed for Europe. And, for the most part, voters throughout Europe can see this, which is why they've been voting for populists in their droves:
- The Real Problem with Nationalism, Without the Virtue Signaling
- Trump Anxiety Disorder and the Washington Establishment's Agenda
- Cycles of History: 2018 brings echoes of Europe's nationalist rebellions of 1848
- Where European populism is going in 2018
