Trump went off on a deranged rant about the media after he stopped his own speech at CPAC to complain about a heckler.

Trump said, “How did he get in here, Matt? Boy, okay. Just for the media, the fake news back there. They took very good care of him, they were very gentle, she was very obnoxious. It was only one person. So we have thousands of people here. So, listen, tomorrow the headline will be, protesters disturb — one person folks, doesn’t deserve a mention, doesn’t deserve a headline. The headline tomorrow, disrupters of CPAC and he was very nice. We looked at him, and he left, okay. Now, I’ve had it too often. You’ll have one person, and you can hardly even hear. In fact, the biggest disturbance are you people, he’ll say something, and nobody hears him, and then the crowd will start screaming at him and then all of a sudden, we stop.”
From the feed, it was impossible to hear Trump being heckled and no one watching the broadcast would have known about it, but you would think that CPAC would be safe for Trump that the emotionally fragile snowflake would get the love and validation that he craves among a crowd that is now dominated by the far right, and Trump was lavished with worship as one would expect.
However, Trump is so insecure that he had to point out the one person who was protesting him.
Nowhere is safe for Trump. He is the most unpopular president in the history of polling, and not even CPAC can prevent a tiny slice of how the real world feels about Donald Trump from sneaking in.
