Trump goes silent as rally speech disrupted within minutes: ‘Wacko screaming up there!’

President Donald Trump praised Tennessee law enforcement officials Saturday after his rally speech appeared to have been disrupted by a heckler within minutes.

Speaking in Clarksville, Trump complained about what he argued was the inadequate press coverage of his rally sizes, which he claimed to be an “all-time record.”

“The one time they show it is when there's a problem, like if two people are in a fistfight, or if some guy's screaming like a lunatic, you know, some guy that lost his way is screaming, they show. But if there's anything positive like the size of these crowds," Trump said before something appeared to grab his attention. “Like that wacko that's screaming up there!”

Trump was then seen pointing into the crowd of attendees as audience members booed. Trump watched in silence as, based on his subsequent remarks, it appeared the heckler was escorted off the premises.

“Wow,” Trump said. “Hey, the Tennessee police act very quickly, I like that! Sometimes you have guys, they look at people for a half hour before they do anything. Thank you, I like Tennessee!”
