At Friday’s (thankfully) cancelled Trump rally at the University of Illinois at Chicago, a young man sporting a headband, Trump t-shirt, and fanny pack (yeah… a damn fanny pack) french fry’d when he should have pizza’d. For the uninitiated, that means he had a bad time. To make matters worse, according to his friend, he had a bad time while tripping on acid.
In the video, which clocks in at just over a minute, the bespectacled Trump fanboy can be seen getting upset at the cancellation announcement, then proceeds to go on an expletive-rich rant inside the University of Illinois at Chicago Pavilion with his middle finger at the ready.
“Fuck you! Ahh! Get out of America! Fuck you.”
The fan’s tirade continued outside of the venue. Confronted by protesters who were (I guess) trying to talk sense into the guy, the fan responded with an extended middle finger and more “fuck you’s,” before making a sharp turn into Crazytown as Guy Fawkes makes an uncredited cameo.
“I’m white! I’m fucking white! I am white! I am fucking white!”
Whatever is being said to the acid-tripping Trump supporter is indecipherable, as is the case when many voices overlap. But whatever the protesters were telling this guy was doing nothing to calm him down. The Trump supporter’s friend can be heard telling the protesters “he’s really fucked up” as they disperse. From Raw Story:
“According to a tweet from John Sheehan — who uploaded the video — a friend of the Trump supporter confirmed that his buddy ‘was high on LSD (acid)’ and ‘freaks out when he hears that the March 11 Trump Rally in Chicago is cancelled.'”
While I understand that everyone’s drug experiences are different, speaking as someone who has enjoyed LSD on many occasions, I have never had a freak out that resulted in lashing out like this Trump supporter did. Furthermore, I have never known anyone who has freaked out like that on LSD. I’m not saying it couldn’t happen, but given the kinds of people who have been showing up to Trump rallies, I am skeptical of this narrative.
Even though I have no proof that this deranged Trump fan wasn’t on LSD when he decided to flip people off, tell everyone to go fuck themselves, and make proclamations of his ethnicity, there isn’t anything beyond hearsay claiming he was.
Whatever the case, here’s the outburst, courtesy of The Video Catalyst Project.
