Donald Trump Grimaces Through Rally Besieged By a Parade of Black Lives Matter Protesters
Donald Trump, at once the most verbose and inarticulate candidate the country has ever seen, is just not getting the chance to spew his bumbling inaccuracies these days.
During a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Friday night, Trump’s speech was continually interrupted by groups of protesters, by some guesses as many as ten separate times. The protesters all appeared to be associated with Black Lives Matter, and were positioned randomly throughout the arena.
Trump continually points at the protesters and then at another spot, perhaps signaling to security, a tight-lipped smirk plastered on his face. At one point, he responded to a protester with a simple, uncomfortable “hello.”
Some reports say that there were five separate incidents, with others going as high as 10. Each time, Trump supporters moved quickly to remove them from the arena or “covering them in coats,” according to CNN’s Noah Gray.
This all happening as @realDonaldTrump taking questions from crowd. Event tonight in arena. Protestors in all different areas "undercover"

Protesters, many associated with Black Lives Matter, are now showing up at lots of Trump rallies, despite his insistence that he has a “great relationship with the blacks.” Maybe this is why.
