Add The California Post on Google A man known around Escondido for covering his home with Trump flags and MAGA memorabilia was reportedly left fighting for his life Wednesday after a brutal attack erupted outside the infamous “Trump House.”
Locals have complained about the Buchanan Street property in the past with commentary online going back years — describing bizarre displays, confrontational behavior and over-the-top MAGA decor — all long before an alleged attack left a man in serious condition.
Video obtained by The California Post shows the aftermath of a confrontation outside the property with police tape blocking off the street.
Officers reportedly arrived to find a utility worker restraining one individual while another man lay nearby with severe injuries.
Comments online indicate the home had become a target of hostility in the neighborhood.
“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,” a post read.
Another commenter said the house may actually be in violation of California law.“Any neighbor can complain to the city. No campaign flags or signs are allowed more than 90 days from an election,” they wrote.
“California state law. Please file a complaint. The more the better.”
The victim was allegedly rushed to a trauma center in critical condition.
Blood was seen dripping from a nearby curb when officers were on the scene talking with witnesses.
One suspect was reportedly arrested at the scene as investigators cordoned off the property and launched an investigation into what happened at the so-called “Trump House.”
The California Post reached out to the Escondido Police Department and the Escondido Fire Department for comment.
