Former President Donald Trump had a lively interaction with a heckler at a recent campaign event, drawing cheers and chants of “USA!” from the crowd. The incident occurred at a rally in Waukesha, Wisconsin, where Trump was discussing the importance of restoring peace on university campuses amidst anti-Israel protests.
As Trump spoke, a heckler in the crowd interrupted him, prompting Trump and his supporters to drown out the heckler with chants of “USA! USA!” Trump then humorously addressed the heckler, suggesting they go home to their mother, joking about the reaction the heckler’s mother might have while watching the event on television.
The incident, which was quickly resolved, was portrayed by Trump as a minor disruption, with the former president quipping that the media would likely exaggerate it as “pandemonium.” Despite the interruption, Trump thanked his supporters and continued with his speech.

In other news, Trump is set to address the Libertarian Party’s national convention in Washington, D.C. The party announced that Trump, the likely GOP presidential nominee, will speak at the convention on May 25 to address concerns raised by its members. The party sees Trump’s appearance as an opportunity to promote the message of liberty and influence policy positions.
The convention’s theme, “Become Ungovernable,” reflects a sentiment within the party that citizens have experienced overreach by the government, including confinement, indoctrination, deception, and forced inoculations. The convention aims to advocate for reclaiming basic rights and freedoms by becoming ungovernable, featuring speakers, activists, and thinkers who prioritize freedom and independent thinking. The convention will also determine the Libertarian presidential candidate for the 2024 election cycle.
