An Orlando Trump supporter was recently caught on video picketing outside a neighbor's home with a sign that read "A GAY ASIAN WITH AIDS Who Hates AMERICA + Fireworks Lives Here!"

The man in the now-viral video is Matt Sherman, who took very personally that his neighbor had set up anti-Trump yard signs and a sign in support of Democratic Florida state representative candidate Anna Eskamani. As of now, it has been viewed 123,000 times.

The opposite side of the sign read "A butt hurt Trump hater lives here, who's the keyboard warrior now?"

Sherman's action violated Orlando Ordinance 43.42, which makes it "unlawful for people to picket before or about the residence or dwelling of any person," notes Orlando Weekly.

"Why didn't they turn the sprinklers on? It would probably be the first shower this deplorable piece of garbage has taken in a while," Kris Hendricks commented on the video.

"I'm a second grade teacher, and I see this kind of behavior in some of my kiddos every year: I don't like you so I'm going to call you names," commented Oli Ponce-McLaughlin, "However, my students usually understand not to do this after we discuss it, while this grown-ass man can't even form a coherent argument."
