Trump Surrounded by Secret Service as Man Tries Rushing Stage

Donald Trump has been accused of inciting violence – or at least condoning it.  

Today, however, he was a target of violence:

Secret Service agents surrounded Donald Trump during a rally in Ohio on Saturday as a man tried rushing the stage, only a day after he canceled an event over what his team said were safety concerns.

Shortly after mocking a protester who was being escorted out of his event outside Dayton, four Secret Service agents jumped onto the stage and surrounded Trump.

The man who tried rushing the stage, Thomas Dimassimo, was later arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and inducing panic, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s office said. It was not clear if he entered a plea or has an attorney. According to records, his next court date is March 14.

“I was ready for him, but it’s much easier if the cops do it, don’t we agree?” Trump said to the cheering crowd.

Thomas Dimassimo is the name of the man who rushed the stage.  (To see a video of the incident, click here.)
