Trump laughs off protester who attempted to disrupt 100 days speech: ‘Thought it was a guy’
During a rally in Michigan to mark his first 100 days in office, President Donald Trump faced a disruption from a protester, whom he initially mistook for a man but later corrected as a woman. The incident occurred as Trump was praising Republican National Committee leader Michael Watley, and he casually dismissed the protester as a 'radical left lunatic' before security removed her. Trump joked about the situation, suggesting the protester would return home to a Trump-supporting mother. In his speech, Trump criticized former President Joe Biden and touted his administration's achievements in reducing illegal immigration and restoring jobs. The rally was part of Trump's effort to highlight the successes of his second term and to energize his supporters by claiming his administration had the most successful start in history.
