Heckler calls out Trump for taking millions from foreign governments while president
Donald Trump’s rally in Iowa was briefly derailed on Sunday when he was heckled by a protestor calling him out for acceptingmillions of dollars from foreign businesses while he was president.
“You’ve taken millions!” a female protestor could be heard shouting as Mr Trump took shots at his primary rivals on stage.
Boos from the crowd drowned out the woman before the former president taunted: “Go home to Mommy! Your mommy’s worried.”
Mr Trump later criticised the protestor, calling her “young and immature,” only to come face to face with even more heckling and booing that broke out when another protester could be heard calling Mr Trump a “climate criminal”.

The report also acknowledged that its findings were likely incomplete, covering just two years of Mr Trump’s presidency.
Mr Trump admitted the findings were true during a Fox News town hall last Wednesday, telling the hosts that it was “a small amount of money”.
“You know, it sounds like a lot of money. That’s small,” he said.
“I was doing services for them. People were staying in these massive hotels, these beautiful hotels. I don’t get $8m for doing nothing.”
