The Trump Campaign Is Getting Dragged for Replacing People Sitting Behind Donald Trump at His Montana Rally, and the Internet Has a New Hero
Hilarious.
At a Montana MAGA rally Thursday night, a man in a plaid shirt standing behind President Donald Trump was removed because he couldn't hold back his disbelief over what the president was saying.
Trump was boasting about how easy it is to win the popular vote, which he lost handily to Hillary Clinton in 2016.

"It's hard, it's harder to win than [the] popular vote," Trump said of the Electoral College. "Popular vote you go to three, four states boom boom boom."

"What, what?" our friend in plaid can be seen uttering. His expression turned to surprise again when Trump struggled to pronounce the word, "anonymous" - twice - while ranting about a New York Times op-ed.
It takes a stable genius to say "Anonymous" https://t.co/0BOki6HKI1— Giles Paley-Phillips (@Giles Paley-Phillips) 1536300874.0

Plaidman was escorted away and replaced by someone more willing to smile through the president's borderline-incoherent speech, which at this point was peppered with Trump's greatest hits - immigration, trade, tax cuts - the usual.

The whole section of "supporters" behind Trump looked bored, to be honest.
