ALERT: Owner of ‘Trump House’ fighting for his life after neighbor beats him almost to death in his own driveway.
A 69-year-old man in Escondido, California, known for having his house covered in Trump and American flags, was beaten by Thomas Caleb Butler, 32.
Police responded to the assault and found the owner "suffering from significant injuries" and a good Samaritan that interviened also injured.
Butler had fled the scene when police had arrived, but was found about a half mile away and apprehended.
It was revealed that Butler lives just around the corner from the victim.
The ‘Trump House' has become a target of hostility, with one online comment reading, “My buddy lived down the street from him. Whenever I went to visit I made sure to swing by that place and shout stuff at them.”
20-year-old Jakub Vazquez showed me how he’s being falsely accused of carrying out the mass shooting in San Diego, with several social media accounts mistaking him for one of the suspects, 18-year-old Caleb Vazquez.
He’s hoping to clear his name.
