'Trump is a bully,' says man who rushed stage - CNNPolitics.com
While there is no doubt he is incredibly foolish, he doesn't seem to be this huge threat then Trump camp has been painting him as.
I'm afraid young Mr. Massamino is confused on what "bullies" do..."bullies" rush the stage and try to deprive others of their right to free speech..."bullies" use physical confrontation.
He already said he wasnt going to be physical with Trump. The guy was small 5'9" and Trump is 6'3".
When your "plan" is to rush the stage and take away the microphone from a speaker...you're going to be "physical" to accomplish that. I'm sorry, Asclepias but HE was the bully on that day...not Donald Trump.
That depends. There is no proof he meant it literally. Taking away his mic could be construed as taking away his voice by simply shouting him down and causing a commotion. These are his words which leads me to believe he meant what I got out it.

When asked whether he'd planned on attacking Trump if he'd been able to reach him, DiMassimo said he had not.
"No, not at all. There would have been no point. Donald Trump is 6 foot 3. I'm 5 foot 9, maybe. He's a giant man surrounded by thousands of followers, 12 Secret Service and a former Ohio State offensive lineman. That would have accomplished nothing."
He said he could understand, though, how people might have perceived he was planning to attack Trump, and that he hadn't expected so many Secret Service officers.
"I thought my chances of getting up on stage and getting to the podium would have been better," DiMassimo said.
"But again it was more important for me to show that there are people out there who aren't afraid of Donald Trump. He says scary things. He lets his people do scary things. He's threatened Mexico, Islam, you name it, and yet I'm unafraid.
And if I can be unafraid enough to go take his podium away from him, then we all can be (un)afraid enough to not let this man walk into the White House.""
