NEW YORK (AP) - A giant red-white-and-blue T - for Trump - went up in flames in New York City.
Firefighters in the city’s borough of Staten Island rushed to the blaze that engulfed the 12-foot wooden T a resident had commissioned for his front lawn.
Artist Scott LoBaido told the Staten Island Advance that his work was a tribute to the Republican presidential nominee.
Who doused the mammoth T with gasoline just after 1 a.m. Sunday and torched it remains a mystery, according to a fire department spokesman. Fire marshals are investigating.
“It was about 1 a.m last night and my wife, two kids and I were sound asleep when our neighbors rang the doorbell to tell us the T was ablaze,” Sam Pirozzolo told the Advance.
He said LoBaido created and erected the T in May, covered in patriotic colors, to show support for Trump.
At least his client’s house wasn’t burned down, LoBaido said. Still, “this is just out of control.”
The artist will create a new T, and Pirozzolo promises this one’s going to be “huge, huge.”
