| “I get almost unanimous veteran support,” said Trump, as he runs through talking points of his stump speech. | |
| “You’re going to be proud of that border, and be proud of the wall... Maybe it’ll be named the Trump Wall. We’re going to take care of education, we’re going to get rid of Common Core.” | |

| Another protester just appeared in the crowd - this one removed by security guards directly in front of the press pen. | |
| “He stands there smiling because he knows he’s protected. Don’t touch him,” said Trump. | |
| “They stand there and they taunt us all. The dishonest media will say Trump was very very tough and raised his voice,” said Trump. | |
| The protester, a youngish white guy wearing a Bernie Sanders t-shirt, was by himself. | |

| “We owe $19 trillion. It’s going up to $21 trillion because of the horrible, horrible budget that three months ago the Republicans approved. We funded in that budget Obamacare. We funded in that budget people coming in from Syria… we funded in that budget all sorts of things, including people coming into our country illegally. Did you know we take care of illegal immigrants in some cases better than we take care of our veterans?” said Trump. | |

| Before Trump appeared on stage, an announcement was made that if any protesters appeared, that Trump supporters shouldn’t touch them but they should hold their posters up and chant “Trump” to alert authorities (a confusing security technique). | |
| Well, a protester appeared and Trump yelled “Get ‘em out!” to loud cheers. | |
| The Guardian can’t see the protester and is trapped in the press pen. Trump then said “Don’t hurt her, don’t hurt her,” before adding - about the presence of protesters - “but it does make it exciting, right?”. | |
| He questioned if protesters were paid, said he suspected they were. | |
| Five minutes later, more appear. “The only way the cameras show how many people are at a place like that is when they show a protester... otherwise these crooked people, they never show how many people are in the area,” said Trump. | |
