A military veteran returned home to a campaign sign on fire in his Henry County yard earlier this week.

William Powers told Channel 2 Action News that someone set fire to his Donald Trump sign and ripped up all the other signs he’d had out.

So the Republican party volunteer went to the county’s GOP headquarters and asked for the biggest Trump sign available and nailed it to his front porch, Channel 2 reported.

“I say, I’m going to fight fire with fire,” Powers told the television station. “Can you give me the largest sign you have? So he gives me the Donald Trump sign that’s like 8 feet, looks like 8 feet by 5 feet.”

While Powers doesn’t think local police will catch whoever stole and set fire to his first Trump signs, he doubts anyone will vandalize his current version.
