"You can see it hit a nerve"

The consternation of the people that protect us, go home. So he gets paid. You know, they're paid protesters. They get paid $250. Donald Trump, who's not used to hecklers, has a guy in the audience shout at him, shove that ballroom up your fat ass. That's what got shouted at the president. He, of course, sends the heckler out of the event. But John and Emily, This isn't the first time. In fact, Donald Trump has sort of been beset by hecklers while he's been out on the campaign trail confronting him about the Epstein files. That woman was punched in the face for standing up with a shirt on that said release the Epstein files and shouting at the president. And now he's got a guy standing up and shouting at him about the ballroom, among other instances, as he's gone to these rallies. And these are at his events. It does seem like the populist fervor is reaching Donald Trump's own doorstep. It's funny, isn't it, that Trump is allowed to speak about other people's asses on the campaign trail, but he just doesn't want to be reminded of his own fat one. Exactly. There was some backlash. There was a clip we played yesterday on The Daily Show, which was about Obama giving it large about Trump's taste in interior decoration. was on the subject of ballrooms and he used this phrase it's as if Saddam Hussein had opened a cheesecake factory the quip has gotten to Donald Trump more than it has gotten to anyone i don't know if you guys saw this but after Barack Obama said that at the next rally Donald Trump spoke at he responded to Obama's joke not with a one minute uh rejoinder or a two minute rejoinder he talked about it for 10 minutes at a rally. He could not get over this. And there's one lesson in politics that when you are explaining, you are losing. And Donald Trump explained and explained how great that the White House is and why wouldn't anyone like the gold decorations. And it's unfair that Barack Obama would say this. I mean, it really, really got under his skin. So whether it's the former presidents heckling him or the people at the rallies, you can see this is getting to Republicans because it's hitting a nerve. And that nerve is that their numbers are slipping in these battlegrounds. And Trump is being forced to go to places and to defend seats that they did not think were in play this cycle. And they can see that the anger is seeping into their own base, that they are losing their own people. And that's why they are flailing in the lead up to this midterm election.
