And as one of the protesters passed — a skinny young man with long dark hair and a nose ring — the man punched him in the side with a fist. The protester whirled around to see who had done it, but the man quickly put his hand back into his pressed khakis, and now he was just one more face in the rowdy crowd. Trump carried on.
