MAGA man pulls gun during tussle with anti-Trump protesters (VIDEOS)

Protests against the policies of US President Donald Trump have been rocking the country

A man in a MAGA hat pulled out a gun during an altercation with a group protesting the policies of the administration of US President Donald Trump on Saturday.

The protests, dubbed ‘Hands Off!’, oppose the social and economic policies of Trump and his advisor Elon Musk. They have taken place in more than 1,400 locations around the US.

The incident took place during one such protest near the courthouse in the town of Lafayette, Indiana, according to a statement from the local police on Saturday.

The “situation escalated” when the driver of a vehicle obstructed by the demonstrators got out of his car, “and was subsequently pushed and battered by the individuals in the crowd,” the statement said.

“The driver then retrieved a firearm from his vehicle in what he described as an act of self-defense. He did not discharge the weapon and promptly returned it to his truck. Shortly after, a male protester approached the driver and headbutted him, causing injury,” the press release said.
