President Donald Trump was interrupted by several demonstrators during his rally in Kansas — right after he took the stage, as he bragged about winning the red state “three times.”
Minutes into his speech in Park City Monday night, Trump was heckled by at least two people — which has become a common occurrence as he stumps for Republican candidates in the upcoming midterm elections.
Trump won Kansas by more than 56 percent in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, and in 2024, he got 57.2 percent of the vote, according to 270toWin.
Trump’s supporters booed at the protester as the president fired off his usual insults — but their focus was clearly broken as the president tried to push through the commotion.
“Now he goes home to mom and dad,” Trump said. “They slap him around, they say I voted for that man.” Trump used the same “your mom” joke when he was interrupted by protesters in Texas, Ohio and Alaska at rallies this month.

The crowd cheered, and then Trump added another dig: “Whatever you do, get out and vote so we can get rid of idiots like that.”
“It never ends…the Dumocrats they’re so bad,” Trump said, using his belittling nickname for Democrats. “They don’t realize what’s gonna hit ‘em.”
By the fourth interruption in his speech, Trump accused the protesters of being young people who get paid $250 to cause a disturbance and then “ruin their whole lives.”
“The amazing thing — these kids get paid $250 for that, and then they ruin their whole lives, ‘cause they get arrested,” Trump said. “I don’t like to do it, actually, a lot of times I say, ‘Don’t do it.’ They get 250 bucks, and they scream out some stupid thing.”

Kansas is one of several red states where Democrats are gaining support. Hamilton was up 3 points in a recent YouGov poll. Forty-eight percent of likely Kansas voters supported Hamilton while 45 percent backed Marshall.
In his speech, Trump defended Marshall following a report about the senator’s legal actions against patients during his decades-long career as an obstetrician-gynecologist.
Marshall filed lawsuits against more than 700 patients with outstanding bills, according to a New York Times analysis of Kansas court records published last month. In 81 of those cases, patients were arrested for missing court dates, according to the records.
A spokesperson for Marshall told the Times, “Judges issue warrants when people repeatedly miss court dates, not doctors.”

“They gave him a bum rap, so I don’t know if I should be saying it, but that’s the way it is, Roger,” Trump said. “You got screwed with that stuff.”
Trump has been tirelessly campaigning in red states that would normally be easy for Republicans to win so the GOP can keep control of Congress. Meanwhile, the president is struggling to convince Americans of his own agenda.
Trump has hit a record low approval rating of 33 percent in a new ABC New/Washington Post/Ipsos poll as his administration is dogged by an unpopular Iran war and stubborn inflation that Americans are feeling at the grocery store and at the gas pump.
Ted Nugent, a rock artist known as the Motor City Madman, spoke on stage before Trump, preaching conservative values while calling the crowd of the president’s supporters “s*** kickers” as an apparent term of endearment.
“We could eliminate the Democrat Party. That’s the goal,” Nugent yelled at the crowd while encouraging Kansans to vote. “I want them out of here!”
