'Plaid shirt guy' thinks he was removed from Trump rally for 'not being enthusiastic enough'
Definitely not creepy that a sitting president even still has Rallies.

Trump wants to be told that he's the most special boy in the world all day every day by new people each time. This isn't news.

It sounds like due diligence to me. I don't have pictures of this rally. But it sounds like this guy was on stage with the President and being disrespectful. He was quietly ushered aside and checked out. Then removed without incident. It may seem his lack of enthusiasm. (Might even be for that, politically) But for the Secret Service it was most likely a security concern.

What about this do you read as "disrespectful", and since when is lack of respect something that gets you grabbed by the secret service?

From the way the article was written he was on a stage very close to the President. There are rules and decorum that go into such things. And mouthing phrases for the camera and lip synching questions appears mocking. It may be the fact that I am former military. But you respect the office even if you do not the person holding it. If he stayed focused and blogged about it later is one thing. But this was getting screen time. If the President had asked for feedback he would have been in every stitch right to give him everything he had. Respectfully.

Why is that creepy? No seriously, give me an answer. Is it solely the fact that HE is doing them rather than the act itself? Because I somehow think it is.

Well, generally, rallies are something an aspiring president does during an election year, to stir up support and further their campaign. This man just kept his election rallies going after he won because he likes the attention.

But he's a civilian. Why should he show respect to a man who has done nothing to deserve it?

It IS an election year, it's mid-terms. And presidents stump for more than themselves, but also for party candidates.

But he is stumping for himself, and has been since his election. He is always about himself.
