Donald Trump was hardly a minute into his economic address Monday when the protests started. By the 20-minute mark, protesters had managed to interrupt Trump 10 times — and by the time his speech wrapped up, he'd spoken through 14 outbursts.
In a decidedly out of character move, Trump didn't take the protesters' bait. While there were rumors he threw a crying baby out of a rally last week, this week he just paused briefly for the interruptions before forging ahead with his planned address. He did manage to work in one snide remark, however, when he called the protesters low-energy. "I will say: The Bernie Sanders people had far more energy and spirit," Trump said.
