ABC News(NEW YORK) — A Donald Trump rally was interrupted several times by protesters Wednesday night and the outspoken presidential candidate suggested that one of them, whom he described as “seriously overweight,” was upset because he was talking about food stamps.

“You know it’s amazing, I mentioned food stamps at that guy who’s seriously overweight went crazy — Amazing. Amazing,” Trump told the audience in Worcester, Mass. “That’s an amazing sight.”

The protester was escorted out of the rally.

Just before the protester interrupted Trump, the candidate was talking about the need to roll back the number of people on food stamps.

“We have 43 million and now it’s actually probably gonna be closer to 50. 50 million people on food stamps,” Trump said just prior to the interruption....

They don’t realize that SNAP funds are a fixed amount, essentially half from the state and half from the Federal government. The more that sign up, the per/person payout gets smaller unless the Congress budgets more.

I saw it, crazy dude fer sure. Good to know Trump has good sevurity, now here is something else, Trump never faltered, he didn’t break apart or even looked worried, actually he enjoyed it, the man actually ran over to the first protester. Like he wanted to get in some of the action.

Trumps a fighter, the more they attack the stronger he gets.

You take the other candidates, just think what their reactions would be.

Here’s my post from back in Sept when I went to see Trump at his USS Iowa speech. He has been very consistent in his campaign. My remarks still stand:

I attended the USS Iowa event last night. It was a very patriotic gathering with a lot of veterans in the audience. There were also a lot of enthusiastic young people. One thing that stood out for me is that all the attendees were of the happy and optimistic type that love this country and what it represents. I believe Trump’s popularity stems from the fact these people feel someone is finally standing up for many of the things they believe and will fight hard for them and not give a damn about the consequences. In any event, everyone there had a great time. Of course I can’t say the same for the 200 or so protestors. They were not the happy type.

Cheers!

I wish Trump would be the President already. I am so sick of Obama.

Trump wants to hear what they all have to say. After the food stamp guy, there was one more, and Trump wanted to know what he was saying, but the guy was only trying to say he couldn’t hear.

I like the way he interacts with the audience. He’s really there, not just a speaking machine.
