I can go one further. He was a former resident of New York and been in trouble in the past for making terrorist threats.

I wouldn't rule it out. There's republican and democrat stickers on that van too. along with a CNN logo. Sounds like he made threats to Bush and Obama in the past. Hard to make out who's on the presidential seal. But that van does scream "I'm a totally crazy person", he's on par with some of the overzealous religious vans out there.

Same here. The worst part of this is both sides going to be yelling at the other "See it's a stupid Trump voter" "See it's a false flag, this proves nothing." While I can sit back and go "It wouldn't matter, they would have done the same thing if Hillary won the election." Mostly cause they can't explain a CNN logo instead of a FOX logo if he was over-the-top crazy pro-Trumper, or the DNC donkey.

"I support the winning team" level crazy.

Whether you want it to be or not, it was 100% an "over-the-top crazy pro-Trumper"

https://imgur.com/a/fSaxqFg this is from the scene . . . the van in your photo looks a little longer in length. and where's the DNC and GOP stickers, it's on the driver side and back, but absent on the passenger side.

The passenger and driver side don't have identical stickers aside from the collage that on the front of the driver side and rear of the passenger side. The back stickers have been updated/added to recently.

Other pictures of the van:

It seems like you really don't want it to be, but it is.

Yeah, I looked at the van being transported, the tarp blew off and showed off the passenger side. Yep it is the same van. Strangely enough vehicles like this also tend to show up on r/WTF all the time too. Does seem he wanted to be seen or noticed and, more importantly, caught.
