Protester Punched at Trump Rally as President Mocks His Appearance
At a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, a protester wearing a 'Release the Epstein Files' T-shirt was punched and forcibly removed by attendees. US President Donald Trump dismissed the protester as a paid left-wing agitator and mocked his appearance, calling him a 'fat guy' and suggesting he needed to go on a diet. The incident drew attention for both the physical altercation and Trump's remarks. The rally also featured support for Republican candidates ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
