Luxury Cadillac with multiple Trump bumper stickers bursts into flames in Brooklyn

A luxury Cadillac festooned with President Trump stickers burst into flames while parked in Brooklyn — and its charred remains drew gawking onlookers over the weekend.

The red 2018 Cadillac CTS with a Florida license plate caught fire just after 11 p.m. on Friday on Carroll St. near Court St. in Carroll Gardens, authorities said.

FDNY officials said no arson or criminal intent is suspected, but they continue to investigate the cause.

“Flames were coming out of the middle of the car straight up like a column of fire.," said Nina Sodhi, 44, who lives on the block. "The police and firemen didn’t seem worried about the fire, so I assumed it wasn’t a bomb or anything bad. They put it out fast.”

Firefighters extinguished the blaze in 15 minutes.

Don't know why, but who would park a car full of Trump stickers on a New York city street, unless they were begging to be vandalized?

R/R door-glass on ground there only. Burned interior only. Most mechanical related fires start in engine bay.


Molotov somehow the name fits for a Trump supporter. But of course I do not condone it just saying it looks like arson.
