Called ‘boring’, Trump has his security remove heckler: Video
GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump ejects a young fan from his event for calling him “boring.”
The unidentified man called the billionaire former reality TV star “boring” and asked for “some jokes” at a Monday event in New Hampshire, where Trump is gaining more support akin to Iowa, another early-voting state.
“This is boring! This is boring! Tell some jokes,” the fan shouted, making Trump look briefly uncomfortable.
After a smile, the real estate mogul noticed that the man did not intend to stop and ordered the security team to eject him.
“Get him out of here,” he said. "Get out of here, go ahead. Out, out, out, out, get out."
He, then, tried to take advantage of the situation by stressing on his gravitas, a quality many of his critics believe he would lack as the commander-in-chief of the United States.
“He wants jokes, [but] there’s nothing funny about this,” Trump continued. "This is so serious. He’s got a very serious problem. I saw that when I came in. He says, he loves me, ‘I love you, you’re the greatest’ — no. Get him out of here."
Despite being removed, the heckler insisted that he was a Trump supporter.
“I love Donald, but it’s getting a little boring,” said the man, who wore a hat with Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan. “It’s getting a little boring.”
Another Trump event drew the media’s attention on Friday, when 56-year-old Rose Hamid, a Muslim wearing hijab, was escorted out of in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
Trump won’t be ‘toppled’
Despite being famous for unfair remarks against women, Muslims, Latinos, and other minorities in the US, Trump has been gaining more support, particularly in the key states of New Hampshire and Iowa.
He now has a 32-percent support in New Hampshire, up from 26 percent in November, according to a Monmouth University survey released on Monday.
His favorability rating has also increased to 52 percent positive and 40 percent negative.
“As Granite State voters start to firm up their decision, it’s looking more and more unlikely that Trump will be toppled from his perch," said Monmouth polling director Patrick Murray. "The real fight is for second place.”
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Ohio Governor John Kasich are in the second spot with 14 percent support each.
As Iowa’s February 1 caucuses approach, Trump is also leading Cruz by 2 percentage points there.
According to Quinnipiac University, he leads the GOP field with 31 percent support but is followed closely by Cruz's 29 percent.
