Veteran Trump House Owner Killed in Attack

A beloved Escondido resident known as the “Trump House” owner, a 69-year-old Army veteran, died after a brutal attack last week that left him critically injured. His home, adorned with American flags and pro-Trump symbols, became a symbol of his patriotism — now mourned by a community that gathered to honor him. Authorities charged a 32-year-old Navy veteran, Thomas Caleb Butler, with attempted murder and other serious crimes, citing a single punch that led to fatal blows. Butler, who pleaded not guilty and is held without bail, reportedly suffers from PTSD. The family, raising funds for funeral and immediate needs, has been overwhelmed by outpouring support as they navigate this tragic loss.
