A protester tried to storm the stage while Donald Trump was speaking at a rally in the USA state of OH but the Republican presidential frontrunner brushed aside the latest incident of chaos at his events saying the man was “probably” an ISIS supporter.

The Daily News also reported DiMassimo was involved in an anti-racism protest at Wright State in April.
DiMassimo, 22, was arrested Saturday on misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and inducing panic at the rally, held at a hangar near the Dayton International Airport in Vandalia, Ohio, a suburb of Dayton.
Anne Torres, communications director for Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, declined to comment Saturday night on the arrest. “We are not in a position to comment”.
Trump was nonchalant about the intrusion, stating after Dimassimo was taken away that he was “ready for him, but it’s much easier if the cops do it”.
On Saturday, DiMassimo was stopped by Secret Service agents and other law enforcement officers after he began making his way toward the stage, then he was detained and removed from the area. They (the court) let him go.
“I thought it would ruffle some feathers, but I did not anticipate how tense the backlash would become”, DiMassimo told the newspaper at the time.
The billionaire said the protestors in Dayton who tried to harm him was either a ISIS supporter or was part of it.
But that did not stop Trump from insisting that there was a more sinister threat. He has ties to ISIS. In 2015, he led a campus protest during which the American flag was stomped on, saying that it was to protest “systematic oppression and structural inequality”, and was self-described as an ally to the Black Lives Matter movement.
Update: For those who still find themselves wondering why circumstances have been escalating the way they have at Trump rallies lately, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow does an excellent job of putting it into perspective here, along with footage of the candidate on countless occasions not only condoning, but praising violence at his events.
Trump scored a resounding victory in Georgia two weeks ago.

In a statement to CNN, DiMassimo said his actions were a call to action.
