'We gotta go': Trump appears to nudge police union boss off stage as crowd gets restless
The president of the Arizona Police Association appeared to get a nudge off the rally stage from former President Donald Trump on Friday as MAGA supporters grew restless.
"Illegal drugs are flowing into this country at an alarming rate, with only 5 percent being intercepted at the border," said Justin Harris, as Trump visibly shuffled around behind him and looked at the crowd.
Eventually, Trump directed Harris to look at him and appeared to mutter, "We gotta go." The crowd burst into roars upon hearing this, with some shouting, "We love you, Trump!"

"Got it," said Harris, acknowledging the crowd, as he scrambled to bring his speech to a close. "Folks, let me finish up here please."
Police unions, an increasingly Republican-favoring political bloc, have seen several key units around the country endorse the former president — a fact which has drawn criticism from some commentators, given that Trump himself is a 34-count convicted felon.
The rally in Arizona, his second of the day after an event in Las Vegas, also featured an appearance by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who ended his independent bid for president and threw his support behind Trump on key issues including "censorship" and pulling America out of involvement with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Trump is already planning another rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania, the same area he was rallying during the assassination attempt against him in July.
