Demonstrators interrupt Trump rally in Texas
The Republican president brushed off the interlopers as 'paid protesters', while the crowd broke into chants of 'U-S-A!' and booed them.
U.S. President Donald Trump faced interruptions from protesters during a campaign rally in San Antonio, Texas on Wednesday. Media reported about a dozen individuals were removed from the event. The 80-year-old Republican dismissed the intruders as paid protesters, as the audience chanted "U-S-A!" and booed them. Trump has conducted campaign-style rallies nationwide in preparation for the November midterms, where his party risks losing control of both houses of Congress.
The cost of living, notably soaring fuel prices, and ongoing U.S. involvement in the eight-month-long war in Iran are key election issues. One protester was reportedly escorted out while Trump was filming himself, and another heckler wearing an "SOS Cuba" shirt was also removed.
