October 11, 2018: Truck with ‘Trump 2020’ bumper stickers set on fire

On Monday night, Johnny MacKay surveyed the parking lot of the Garage Bar and Grille in Vancouver, Wash.
He had had a few drinks and planned to take an Uber home, he told KOIN News, and he figured a spot directly under a street lamp would be the best place to leave his truck parked overnight.
Photos of the Nissan Titan pickup were mostly nondescript, save for two small stickers on the back bumper: One read “TRUMP 2020” and the other read “TRUMP: KEEP AMERICA GREAT! 2020”
During the night, Randy Sanchagrin, who lives in a house adjacent to the bar, heard — and felt — an explosion, according to KOIN News. He ran outside and began filming, capturing MacKay’s truck as it was consumed by bright orange flames.
“By the time I ran back to the street, it was so bad there was no getting close to it,” Sanchagrin told the news station.
MacKay, who went back to the bar the next morning to pick up his car, instead found a burned-out shell — with “Trump” spray-painted in white letters across the driver’s side.
“All of a sudden I saw the tires were melted, the windows were shattered, and I was just in shock,” MacKay told KOIN News, adding that he had just affixed the Trump stickers to his bumper that weekend.
The general manager of the Garage Bar and Grille told The Washington Post that cameras are all around the exterior of the restaurant, and that all surveillance footage has been given to authorities.
