Former President Donald Trump, faced with an angry heckler at a Wisconsin rally Tuesday night, slammed the man with mom jokes, video shows.
Trump was holding his second public event of the day, a rally in Green Bay when a heckler showed up — and the former president seized the moment to not just fantasize about violence against the man, but complain about how the media was probably going to give the protest outsized attention.
"You know, we won this state, we won the state by a lot and it came out that we won the state actually," Trump said falsely. At which point booing became audible, and Trump focused on the heckler in the crowd.

"All right, there's one guy now, here's what the fake news will do," said Trump, as the audience roared with chants of "USA" to drown it out. "'There was tremendous dissension tonight.' It was there, one guy going home to mom, he's going to get the hell beat out of him by his mother. Mom's gonna say, what the hell are you doing? You embarrassed, you embarrassed me?"

"No, the, the papers, the fake news will say it was tremendous dissension, tremendous," Trump added. "Yeah. One guy, and he's now scared stiff because he's got to go home to his mother. The mother will say, I saw you on television. You embarrass me."
The former president has frequently relished the idea of violence against people who criticize him. During his campaign in 2016, he even went so far as to tell supporters he'd pay the legal fees of people who would "knock the crap" out of protesters at his rallies.
This comes after Trump gave a speech about crime and the border in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he proclaimed that America would cease to exist if he is not elected back to the White House this year.
