A truck adorned with several stickers supporting President Trump was reportedly set ablaze and vandalized with spray paint outside a bar in Washington state, in what the owner believes was a targeted attack.
"If you say anything that someone doesn't like, you are ultimately a target," Johnny MacKay told KOIN-TV of Portland, Ore. "You're automatically the enemy and they have to hurt you."
After having a few drinks at the bar in Vancouver, Wash., MacKay told the station he decided to take an Uber home and leave his truck overnight in the parking lot. He said he left his vehicle under a light in hopes that it would discourage anyone from trying to break in.
The truck had two stickers on the bumper in support of President Trump, one of which read: “TRUMP 2020.”
"I literally just put them on this weekend," MacKay, who did not vote for Trump but supports the Oval Office, told the station. "If I would've known somebody would've taken politics this far -- I saw them, I thought they were funny and apparently somebody didn't get the joke."
Randy Sanchagrin, who lives across the street from the bar, told the station he ran outside after hearing an explosion to see the truck engulfed in flames.
"All of a sudden I hear a loud bomb and the windows shake," Sanchagrin said. He had his sister call police.
A video posted to Twitter showed flames spouting from the truck, and the charred aftermath.

Democrats are thugs... one big crime family.
Seeing news like this and the stuff going on in places line Portland makes me afraid for our country.
If you do not own a weapon, I recommend you purchase and get concealed weapons training to protect your family and friends. It is a power keg waiting to explode no matter where you live.
I fear we will see political assassinations soon, they have already tried (baseball practice). The Democratic party has lost their minds and our very dangerous.
My brand new car was keyed ($3300 damage)for having a pro military License plate holder. Cannot think of any other reason someone would do that!
The scum anarchists will learn who has the weapons at some point
And it won’t be pretty
This incident would be like parking a car with RED SOX stickers in the Bronx after last nights game. You are just asking for trouble.
Especially the ones that say "Hate Has No Place Here". They hate it if you disagree with them about something. ;-)
I live in Southern CA, South Orange County to be exact.
I have “TRUMP 45” Vanity License Plates on my Car. I’ve had them for about two Years. (I have small NRA and Peace Through Superior Firepower Stickers on my Windshield too)
So far I’ve had a few One Finger Salutes and one crazy Mexican Dude at Costco ranting at me (and anyone in earshot) about how bad POTUS Trump is.
At the opposite spectrum I have had dozens of people engage me in conversation when they see the Plate. More than once People have waited for me to come out of the Grocery Store to talk to me. It has been quite enlightening.
My favorite is when I’m stopped at a Red Light and look in my Rearview Mirror to see the Driver behind me taking an iPhone Picture of the Plate. My Wife jokes that my Trump 45 Plate must be all over Fakebook and the Internet. Who knows?
Would I leave my Car parked outside of a Bar overnight, no way Jose. I may be dumb, but I’m not stupid.
I don’t doubt that this is possible, but I brought up a point in a prior thread on this:
Name for me ONE red-blooded swinging-d$$k who would leave his truck ANYWHERE overnight.
That’s besides the fact that he’s living/drinking in enemy territory.
The stench on this one is overwhelming.
I don't even view them as human anymore. Subhuman at best. Just a ball of idiotic rage waiting to be put down like a rabid dog when/if this Civil War goes to the next level when/if the shooting in the streets start.
Can you imagine millions of Patriots descending on Portland to clear out the commie scum Then moving on to Seattle? My one hope is the good guys get away from it or help the Patriots instead of getting caught in the crossfire.
The problem will be identifying the bad guys (commie dems).
My FReeper page used to have detailed instructions on how to make your own magnetic bumper stickers.
BTW, do things like this only ENCOURAGE folks like us to vote right?
Hell, I wish the election was today.
Portland has surpassed San Fran as the most deranged liberal hell hole.
That’s right. We can imagine what they’d be doing if we didn’t have our guns.
It's all one big hypothetical, of course, but should CWII go hot, people would quickly adopt visible, uniform symbols to differentiate themselves from the 'other' side.
Seems to me you'd have to, to avoid being attacked by friendlies, first of all.
Everyone would be forced to choose a side. None would be allowed to remain neutral. Many would find themselves trapped behind enemy lines. Many would declare false allegiance to whichever faction held their home ground.
What a mess.
In today’s electronic age, it wouldn’t be possible to hide. Look how fast we took Ford apart. Or how fast we took the GWB false papers apart.
In ancient days Christians drew a fish symbol.
Democrats are violent losers...
We fight them by taking over the Courts, the Presidency, the House, the Senate, most Governorships, and most State Legislatures.
I agree but the sore loser dems are pushing us that way and when they lose again next month they will be the biggest babies on the planet.
That used to work when everyone played by the same rules. The left won't even acknowledge there are rules anymore.
A great majority of stuff like this is self-inflicted to create sympathy. Happens all the time with anti-gay messages, or anti-immigrant messages and other left wing causes.
They do that stuff, and the media comes in and does a big sob story.
Again, maybe it is real. But it wouldn't shock me if the dude did it himself. He might have taken a page from the left-wing playbook.
