        @MelindaThinker @HillaryClinton What is most striking is the comparison to how Obama handled a protester, compared to this

        The secret service handled this protester. The Clinton protester wasn't a threat unlike the Trump protester.

        The Trump protester was peacefully holding a sign. If you guys consider that a threat...
