Thomas Dimassimo, Donald Trump Stage Rushing Incident
Thomas DiMassimo, a theater major, attempted to rush the stage at a Donald Trump rally to seize the podium and microphone. In a subsequent interview, DiMassimo claimed his actions were intended to show he was unafraid of Trump's rhetoric regarding Islam and Mexico. The incident is characterized by some as a result of intense media programming and "Two Minutes Hate" style psychological conditioning.
