Hello,
I was installing XFCE4, but my laptop died while pacman was downloading and installing the packages. Now, if I try to download any package that contains ant packages or dependencies from XFCE I get error: signature from <whoever> is invalid.
I've no clue what to do. I've googled this and have only seen solutions to problems where the pacman-key hasn't been initialized, but that's not the problem I'm having.
Any help is appreciated,
Thank you.

See the pacman-key man page. It has all the answers you are looking for.
If package signature verification is not important to you, you can always just disable it in pacman.conf. But that isn't necessarily a great idea.

It might also indicate a corruption in the packages if they did not download correclty. Try clearing out pacman's cache and downloading again:
pacman -Scc
I laugh, yet the joke is on me

guess you won't be upgrading on battery ever again, give this a try:
sudo systemctl disable pacman-init.service
Then reboot, then
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux
dig +short txt archlinux.wp.dg.cx

probably just a bad downloaded package in cache.
pacman -Scc
work, but will also delete all packages history, so you will have to re-download the non-installed-but-downloaded package.
sudo rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/NAMEOFTHEWRONGPACKAGE
should work AND will not delete others package
