This is taking place in a fast-moving context — product cycles, platform shifts, and competitive moves can reshape the outlook quickly, so the details below are worth a careful read.
What follows is a clear walkthrough of the main facts and angles you need to make sense of the news.
Donald Trump’s speech to supporters in Rockland county, New York, was just disrupted twice by protesters, the first time by a woman waving a banner that read: “Trump is a war criminal”.
Video of the disruption from an ABC News producer showed that the woman’s banner was pulled away by a Trump supporter in a red hat before the woman was led away by police officers.
The president then digressed from his prepared remarks to fondly reminisce about how, after his 2016 campaign rallies were frequently disrupted by protesters, his supporters started beating the demonstrators.
“It’s dangerous to do it, and to do it in this crowd is not a good thing. You don’t want to do it in Trump crowds,” Trump said. “Do you remember originally I used to have a lot of that? You know, the first couple of months I’d have people screaming and they learned it’s just not a good thing to do. It’s not good. It’s just sort of dangerous.”
Minutes later, a second protester disrupted the speech. The president then narrated the ejection of the protester, and stressed that he was telling the people removing the person to not be violent “for legal reasons”.
“So we have another little disturbance back there,” Trump said. “It’s already cleared up. What are you doing back there to these people? Boy does that get cleared up. That the guy raises his hand, starts screaming something and within about two seconds, it’s over. I don’t know what happened … Don’t hurt him. Don’t hurt him. Don’t hurt him. I do that for legal reasons. This way I can say that’s a great thing to say. Do not hurt him under any circumstances. And now I can say I’m innocent.”
