Trump Surrounded by Secret Service as Man Tries Rushing Stage
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, but he was released on bail Saturday evening.
"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.

According to witness Chris Famiano of Columbus: "Trump was giving his speech and everyone was into it. And within about a split second somebody from around the bend had jumped over the fence and was charging Donald Trump."
"And before you know it the Secret Service had like four or five guys on him, they wrestled him to the ground. They put him in the ties and then they took him away," Famiano said.
Trump earlier told the crowd the protests that forced him to postpone a rally in Chicago on Friday was a "planned attack" that "came out of nowhere."
Trump said more than 25,000 people were registered for the rally at University of Illinois at Chicago Pavilion Friday. Protests quickly broke out among some of those in attendance as they waited for Trump to speak.

"They were pouring into the arena," Trump said. "All of a sudden, a planned attack just came out of nowhere."
Trump said the protests were "very professionally done" and placed some blame on Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, saying some of the protesters were his supporters.
"[Sanders] should really get up and say to his people, 'stop,'" he said.
Sanders defended his supporters while speaking in Chicago on Saturday.
“What our supporters are responding to is a candidate who has in fact in many ways encouraged violence," he said.
Trump said he hadn't wanted to cancel the Chicago event but did so over safety concerns.
"We dealt with law enforcement at every level," Trump said. "It was determined that if we go in, it could cause really bad, bad vibes."

This is getting shameful, Trump is being attacked, his supporters are being attacked physically. The media is promoting this behavior.
