The former president faced challenges present and otherwise at a Saturday campaign event that saw at least two people ejected and his mental fitness addressed.
With days remaining before the first in the nation primary, former President Donald Trump made a stop in Manchester, New Hampshire to speak to supporters at SNHU Arena. During his remarks, one man’s outspoken disfavor for the GOP figure had him readily removed after supposedly shouting, “He’s a dictator.”
Footage from the event showed that Trump stopped in the middle of his speech to address the rabble-rouser, pointing to him in the crowd before stepping away from the podium. “Until I got- — who is this? Is he your friend? You can get him outta here. Get outta here.”
“Go ahead, you can throw him out,” added the candidate as one angle showed the man rush toward the stage having allegedly said, “This is 1930s Germany!”

Trump watched as the protester was escorted out while boos rained down from the gathered supporters who went on to begin a chant of “USA!” moments later.
“Well, now we know that politics is getting serious…He’s just a disturbed person,” criticized the president.
“Remember that this used to happen all the time. But now, probably, we’re really now in the political season.” He went on to claim, “And a lot of those guys, by the way, are paid by Soros. So these people, you know, are troublemakers.”
The outspoken protester wasn’t the only disruption of the event as the Daily Mail also reported on a man who’d attempted to enter dressed as a hooded member of the Ku Klux Klan with a message contending, “the Klan supports Trump.”
That individual was also ejected from the event after Trump had previously dealt with a climate protester in Iowa telling them, “Go home to mommy, you’re mommy’s waiting. Go home to mommy.”
Saturday also saw the president address ongoing questions about his mental acuity at 77-years-old.
During a recent event, he had been heard repeatedly naming former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley instead of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as the person responsible for U.S. Capitol security on Jan. 6, 2021.
“That wasn’t the first time,” said Haley who encouraged the public to “go back and look. Here you’ve got a situation — I’m not saying he is in anyway like [President] Joe Biden. But, Joe Biden is not what he was two years ago. We need a president for eight years. Even if you have a president for four years — the man was going on a rant about how I was keeping Capitol police from going in on January 6.”
“These things happen because, guess what, when you’re 80, that’s what happens. You’re just not as sharp as you used to be,” the ambassador said adding, “This is not personal.”
Nikki Haley continues to hammer Trump’s mental fitness, saying “when you’re 80, that’s what happens. You’re just not as sharp as you used to be…We need to know that the person that’s going to be in this office has the stamina to be at the top of their game.” pic.twitter.com/HA4OcJvqA7

Responding to concerns about his mental state, Trump told the New Hampshire crowd about another cognitive test he had “aced” and boasted “I feel my mind is stronger now than it was 25 years ago. Is that possible?”
