The ‘T’ for Trump has been on the Staten Island lawn since May. Homeowner Sam Pirozzolo had it custom made to show his support, but just after 1 a.m. Sunday morning, while the family was sleeping their T was up in flames.
“I jump out of bed, I come down here, and I come downstairs, and I can see this big orange glow,” Pirozzolo said.
The fire marshal was investigating damage, Sunday evening and had not yet determined the cause. Ground lights typically shine on the sign, but Pirozzolo said last night they were out. He believes someone was attacking his politics.
“You ignored my rights, you trampled my civil right, you’re trampling my property, and you’re setting fire to my personal property,” he said.
Neighbors told CBS2’s Ali Bauman they’re surprised because many in the area are Trump supporters.
During an interview with Pirozzolo many drove by and made their support known.
“Go Trump,” one driver shouted.
Pirozzolo worried someone in the neighborhood could be putting families at risk for their first amendment rights.
His lawyer stopped by to look at the damage.
“A lot of civil harm has been done to him, and if we can find out who the perpetrators involved, we could bring a civil case against them,” Richard Luthman said.

The Leftist are so tolerant.
I hope they find the creeps....and send them to jail....no slap on the wrist.
Where were you late last Sat. night?
That’s what they tell us over and over.
Remember that guy last week who dared say, “All lives matter”, and his five forms of punishment?
The group said the First Amendment covered government denial of civil rights, but it was okay for them to deny civil rights.
I guess individuals don’t need to treat people of color like others then. Gosh these folks are shallow...
The guy should have had a camera on the statue.
The perp should be charged with arson.
They’ll start burning Trump supporters houses next.
Didn’t the KKK and the Nazis used to do this?
Now if it had been a statue of bammy, oh, the cries of racism!
lol
This doesn’t make sense. He has YUGE support out here.
