The man who gained internet fame thanks to his “Trump House” has died after his neighbor punched him in the jaw. The Trump House owner was Terry Sherron, who was 69, and was also a veteran. He was murdered by 32-year-old Thomas Caleb Butler.
The motivation for the attack was not given, but Sherron had been complaining his flags were being stolen and vandalized. The police have not commented on the case beyond identifying the suspect and describing the event from the point of the punch being thrown and Sherron falling and hitting his head on the ground.

EXCERPT:
After his neighbor savagely attacked him unprovoked on May 20, the U.S. Army veteran who owns a California home famous for its huge Donald Trump signs passed away just before Memorial Day.
Kerry Sheron had gained local notoriety in his Escondido community for hanging Make America Great Again banners and American flags all over his house. But a younger man — who is, ironically, also a veteran — assaulted him so horribly on May 20 that Sheron died on Sunday, May 24, according to the California Post. Police are refusing to offer clues as to the motive, but Sheron has previously complained about vandalism of his banners and flags, and his wife believes the attack could be political.
The attacker, 32-year-old Thomas Caleb Butler, abruptly approached Sheron outside his home and began beating him. Deputy District Attorney Ross Garcia explained, “It was a single punch to the jaw. The victim then falls to the floor, and there are subsequent hits to the victim’s head area.”
