A Fairborn man who attempted to get on the stage at Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Vandalia said he didn’t intend to harm the presidential candidate. He only wanted to send a message.
Thomas Dimassimo, 22, told police his actions were not spontaneous, according to a Dayton police report. He gave his keys to his girlfriend to take his car home before the rally, according to the report.
“… I’m unafraid,” Dimassimo said, during a CNN interview on Sunday. “If I can be unafraid enough to go take his podium away from him, then we all can be unafraid enough to not let this man walk into the White House.”
Dimassimo told police he planned to run onto the stage, take the microphone and yell, “Donald Trump is a racist.”
Dimassimo, using the Twitter handle @younglionking17, announced his plan on social media and said he was trying to “snag the mic” from Trump and “plead his case” in front of Trump supporters.
Dimassimo also denied he had any connection to ISIS during Sunday’s CNN interview.
“I have no known ties to ISIS,” Dimassimo said. “I’ve never been out of the country. I only speak English.”
Trump used Twitter to broadcast a YouTube video of Dimassimo and accuse him of having ties to ISIS.
Dimassimo has been charged with disorderly conduct and inducing panic.
Secret Service agents reported Dimassimo grabbed a man and pulled him out of his way before he jumped the metal fence and ran toward the stage, according to the police report.
Secret Service agents stopped Dimassimo about four feet from the stage.

The facists scum who attacked Trump claimed he "has no ties to ISIS", while this video is clearly shows him stomping on the American flag, showing his solidarity with radical Muslims. The video is used by ISIS, who play Muslim music.
Then, this criminal claims he didn't "intend any harm to Trump." Riiiigggght. He just wanted to bum rush him from behind, shove him away from the podium (that Trump is paying for), grab his microphone, and scream that Trump is a racist.
Look at this guy's Tweets:
Late night shows are probably lining up to have this nitwit on air.
His tweets beforehand belie that ‘unafraid’ meme.
Then why hasn't this steaming POS been arrested for assault?
Hmm... was he trying for martyrdom? Maybe not to get killed, but at least to get arrested for the "cause"? Why else would he anticipate not needing a ride home?
He should be in jail for a long time.
What kind of BS is that? What he did is a Federal offense. He should be facing 10 years in jail.
Probably one of Bernie’s commies.
That's a very revealing turn of phrase.
The leftists are not free to engage in politically motivated crime...like their leaders. The Chicago machine are the ones who gave this guy barely a slap on the wrist with these baby charges.
Wow, not even a hold for a psych eval. That’s unlike the secret service. So unlike it’s very suspicious on who exactly made that decision.
Soooooo, he wants to be a MARTYR?.......well, what is he going to do again!!
I caught that to. Very revealing.
Good catch!! “I have no KNOWN ties to ISIS”!!! WOWIE!! The FBI should be looking into this guy!
this Dimassimo creep should be the first dude Trump goes after , to have charged , prosecuted and sued .
Trump should show no quarter . Sue this guy for everything he is worth , liens against everything he has , if anything . Cause this man to spend the next several years trying to stay out of jail and pay lawyers . Trump should be relentless . He is right , an example needs to be made . This guy should be that example . Read um and weep .
The guy has got to be a Hillary fan.
Very Hillary-esqe. Sort of like her, “That will not be proved.” I think it’s very unlikely this kid had ties to ISIS or any other semi-organized group. But his language shoes how brainwashed his generation CAN be.
The media is setting up more crazies to attack Trump. They want him assassinated.
Pray America wakes
Anyone who tried this on Obama would be dead.
