President Donald Trump can’t avoid being protested at his rallies as he campaigns for Republicans ahead of November’s midterm elections — including in red-leaning Alaska.

As the president was bashing his 2024 presidential opponent, former Vice President Kamala Harris, he stopped to call the demonstrator a “spoiled child.”

“Sounds like we have a spoiled child,” Trump said as his supporters booed at the protester and chanted “USA, USA, USA.”

“He’s now got the displeasure of going home to his mother and father, who both voted for me, by the way,” Trump said of the protester.

Trump was in Youngstown, Ohio, last night, stumping for Sen. Jon Husted, who is running against former Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown, and Vivek Ramaswamy, who ran against Trump for president in 2024 before endorsing him. Ramaswamy is running for governor in Ohio against Democrat Amy Acton, former director of the Ohio Department of Health.

During last night’s rally, Trump gushed about how attractive and athletic Husted, a college football star, was, telling a crowd of his supporters, “I looked at his a**, and I looked at the whole, and then I looked at his hands. Look at his hands. He's got these like claws.”

During one of two protests last night, Trump said the demonstrators “get paid by the lefties in order to destroy our country. They're scum.”

“What he doesn't know is that his mother and father voted for me,” the president added, using a similar insult that he used against a protester in San Antonio, Texas, last week.

Wasilla was Trump’s latest stop as he vigorously campaigns in red states with the midterms right around the corner. The president is trying to boost Republican candidates’ chances as he struggles with his own image issues.

While the party in power typically loses seats in the midterm elections, recent polling shows Democrats gaining ground in Senate races in states that Republicans would normally coast through.
