Donald Trump fan attacked with milkshake by Leftie mob says he was there ‘protecting democracy’
A DONALD Trump fan attacked with a milkshake by a Leftie mob says he was there “protecting democracy”.
A horde of protesters was yesterday filmed chanting “Nazi scum” at the POTUS supporter before soaking him with the creamy drink shortly after Jeremy Corbyn gave a ranting anti-hate speech in Trafalgar Square.
The man claimed he was peacefully debating with “moderate lefties” and “having a laugh with the majority of them” before the outburst.
In the footage he is seen shouting “here to stay” before chucking the cup back at protesters.
He then tries to take on members of the group and lunges at the jeering mob, as a lone cop tries to keep the situation under control, before eventually more officers rush in to escort him away.
Explaining his support for the President, the man said: “Because he’s done more than he said he was going to do for America.”
He added: “He’s true to his word when he said he wants to make America great again.”
It is not known exactly what happened to spark the anger and outburst, but he had reportedly been heard arguing with an anti-Trump protester about Parliament.
The grandfather later told MailOnline: “We have to put forward how aggressive the left can be – it’s not us, you know if they want to call me right wing because I’m supporting Trump then I must be right wing, but I’m not a racist.”
“I came out to support Trump, to stop the left who since we voted for Brexit have been protesting against democracy.
“This is the democratically elected president of the free world. I just wanted a debate with the sensible left, I didn’t expect any of what happened. I never wanted it to get violent, but I wasn’t going to be intimidated.”
The Trump supporter earlier defended the President to Joe.co.uk, saying: “He [Trump] speaks the truth. And most women… Trump did say about the pussy grabbing, but men have done that over the years.
“When I went to school people used to say that… It’s all part of growing up.
“He’s still a kid at heart, I’m still a kid at heart. What’s wrong with not growing up?”

Shortly before the violent outbreak, Mr Corbyn had just told the same group of people Mr Trump has “created a greater sense of hate and hatred that goes with it” and lecturing on “peace”, before this man was targeted.
In a further clash, a pro-Trump supporter filmed herself popping the giant blimp of the President before yelling “that’s a disgrace” at the protesters.
The woman is believed to be Amy Beth Dallamura – AKA Based Amy – a well-known blogger who has been pictured at Free Tommy Robinson demonstrations in support of the EDL founder.
The US President earlier slammed Mr Corbyn for being “negative” as he revealed he wanted to meet him after all.
He said: “He wanted to meet, today or tomorrow, I decided I would not do that.”
Last month Nigel Farage was left drenched in a milkshake, as he campaigned in Newcastle.
Chucking chilled drinks over political leaders has become the latest way to show dislike for policies or people, as there has been a spate of milkshaking in recent weeks.
Far-right hot head Tommy Robinson had two chucked at him in two days while he was campaigning to be an MEP in Bury and Warrington.
Ukip candidate Carl Benjamin, who joked about raping a Labour MP, was also attacked with a milkshake.
And last month a Brexit Party-supporting pensioner was soaked with milkshake outside a polling station.
Today’s milkshake hurling came as anti-Trump campaigners and supporters clashed in London on day two of the US President’s official visit.
As the crowds at Westminster swelled, Mr Trump gave a press conference in the Foreign Office with Theresa May this afternoon.
He backed Brexit and praised Mrs May’s efforts to get a deal with the EU – predicting she won’t get the credit she deserves.
Turning to Mrs May, he took a sly dig at her negotiating skills saying: “I would have sued and settled, maybe, but you never know. She’s probably a better negotiator than I am!
He added: “You are a tremendous professional and a person that loves your country dearly.”
TRUMP’S TRIP
Today the President kicked off with breakfast hosted by the Prime Minister at St James’s Palace with Prince Andrew.
