The Left has been calling for violence relentlessly since Donald Trump re-assumed his presidency — and once again, they’ve got it.
It’s a horrific story, and we warn readers that there’s disturbing content ahead.
The facts:
The wife of the elderly San Diego man brutally beaten outside his MAGA-inspired “Trump House” said there’s “no hope” for her husband after the vicious attack left him fighting for his life.
Kerry Sheron, 69, was in critical condition following the violent assault outside his Escondido property on Wednesday afternoon.
His wife, Maria, revealed to The California Post through tears that her husband isn’t expected to survive.
The alleged assailant, 32-year-old Escondido resident Thomas Caleb Butler, was arrested on attempted murder charges and faces life in prison if convicted.
Profanity alert:
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 [sic] 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.”
The photos of Army veteran Sheron’s injuries are sickening:

Yes, the man was loud and proud, and openly showcased his support of the duly elected president. That’s enough to get you (almost and maybe) killed in today’s America? Leftists need to do some serious soul-searching. Or maybe we need to do it for them.

🚨BREAKING: Homeowner of Famous “Trump House” in Escondido California Brutally Assaulted, Left Fighting for Life in ICU
Just 11 weeks after pro-Trump signs at the residence were attacked, the homeowner of Escondido’s well-known “Trump House” — covered in large Trump flags and patriotic displays — was violently assaulted outside his home and rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
He remains in the ICU battling for his life.
Escondido Police responded to the assault around 2:14 PM Wednesday and quickly arrested a suspect nearby. He has been charged with attempted murder. Motive has not yet been released.
The home has long been a local landmark for its bold pro-Trump and America-themed displays.
Prayers for the victim’s full recovery.
This one is personal to me
Please re post and do the job the mainstream should do
This is one of those stories that leaves me speechless, and I pray for Kerry Sheron and his wife. Although there may be circumstances that we don’t know about yet, I firmly blame the Left for incidents like these. They have ratcheted up their violent rhetoric to levels we’ve rarely seen before, and the results are clear: three assassination attempts against Donald Trump, the cold-blooded ("alleged") assassination of a UnitedHealthcare executive by Leftist hero Luigi Mangione, the savage killing of Charlie Kirk.
And now a man lies in the hospital, fighting for his life. This is just plain wrong, and Democrats need to pay the price at the ballot box in November — and far beyond.

“If convicted.” In California? Good luck. Defense will claim that the victim was responsible for all of this. And pretty much any jury there will buy it.
RE: And now a man lies in the hospital, fighting for his life. This is just plain wrong, and Democrats need to pay the price at the ballot box...
We have elected Thune style politicians who undermined the Trump style (as if there were others as good as Trump).
The suspect accused of allegedly viciously hurting the elderly owner of the San Diego “Trump House” is a Navy veteran with “severe PTSD,” a family friend exclusively told The California Post.
He “sits in his room and thinks everyone is coming to get him,” the friend said, suggesting Butler suffers from intense paranoia.
Police believe the attack had nothing to do with politics and are in the process of speaking to witnesses.
They told The Post they’re still actively working the case.
Butler is currently booked in Vista Detention Facility on a charge of first-degree attempted murder. He’s currently not eligible for bail and will be arraigned on Friday.
If convicted of the charge, he could spend life in prison.
There is NOTHING that warrants or justifies that kind of vicious, brutal beatdown.
But the left is enamored with death. Anyone who doesn't object to the killing of babies or euthanasia, won t have any trouble beating the life out of someone else.
He would die of PTSD, if the right people got a hold of him.
How could Navy veteran, Thomas Caleb Butler, get “severe PTSD,” in his years in the Navy? Was he involved in a disaster that occurred on his ship?
He needs to spend his life, all at once, in the electric chair.
*spit*
Good question.......
They won't, this is who they are.
The attacker is a Trump supporter also. This has nothing to do with politics.
If you had read the story, you would know that the attacker is a registered Republican. He also liked that house. So I don’t know what happened, but it had nothing to do with politics.
Not just Democrats, but the ‘media’ who stokes this with a nod and a wink.
