Read our privacy policy Donald Trump praised a supporter who confronted a protester at a rally in battleground Pennsylvania, saying the heckler is “going home to his parents” to get “in trouble” while the loyalist who shut him down is “the kind of guy I want working for me.” As the heckler was being isolated and presumably escorted out, the president smirked and the large Middletown, Pennsylvania, crowd loudly chanted, “USA! USA!” The president trails Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in the Keystone State by 4.3 per cent, according to an average of polls tabulated by RealClearPolitics. “Are you in law enforcement?” Mr Trump said to the silencer, before mocking the heckler: “He hadn’t gotten the first word out.” The president revelled in his supporter stepping in. “That’s the kind of guy I want working for me,” Mr Trump said to cheers.
