US President Donald Trump was interrupted at least four times by protesters during a campaign rally in Daytona Beach, Florida, on Friday, with the repeated heckling disrupting his address on the crucial midterm elections. Trump lost his cool during one such interruption, turning towards a heckler and firing back, "Shut up, shut up.
Dope. Shut up.
Loser. What a loser.
Get him out of here."The initial interruption came as Trump was speaking about the significance of the upcoming midterm elections. As the protester disrupted his speech, the President abruptly broke away from his address to lash out at the heckler, calling him a "dope" and a "loser" before demanding that he be removed from the venue.
The repeated interruptions appeared to frustrate Trump, who later complained that protesters were cutting in between his punchlines.Trump is interrupted by a third protester during his Florida rally: "There has never been such excitement for a midterm-- Shut up, shut up. Dope.

Supporters responded by shouting, "We love you", prompting the President to make a remark about waiting for someone to express the opposite view."I'm waiting for a protester to say, 'We hate you!'" Trump said. A protester then shouted, "We hate you," interrupting him once again.
