One day after a large demonstration shut down Donald Trump’s rally in Chicago, the GOP front-runner had a scare with a protester in Dayton, Ohio.
Moments after Trump told a protester to “Go back home to mommy,” the Republican front-runner accepted help from Secret Service agents as a scuffle broke out about 45 minutes into his speech.
Trump appeared startled and ducked as an agent moved unto the stage from behind the candidate. Three other agents quickly followed, surrounding Trump.
The crowd jeered as a protester was escorted out of the airport hangar where Trump spoke. After a nod from one of the agents signaled the coast was clear, Trump gave a double thumbs up to the crowd.

“Thank you for the warning,” Trump said. “I was ready for him, but it’s much easier if the cops do it.”
“And to think I had such an easy life,” Trump said. “What do I need this for right? ”
“I’ve done great. I love this country. We’re going to make this country great again,” Trump said as he wrapped up his speech. “It’s payback time.”
