14-year-old girl charged after punching man dressed as Donald Trump in the face at Florida haunted house


A 14-year-old girl could be charged with misdemeanor battery after allegedly punching a man dressed as President Trump while he was standing in line at a haunted house in Naples, Fla.

According to the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, the girl walked up to the man, punched him in the face, laughed and returned to her place in line with other juveniles, according to a USA Today report.

Both the victim and alleged assailant were waiting in line for the Naples Haunted Gross House.

The man asked her why she hit him and then found sheriff’s deputies to report the incident to.

With the Trump administration in office it is difficult to distinguish between satire and reality.

Punching him is. My guess is that he is a MAGAT because he pursued people until he got the girl arrested, I think someone protesting Trump wouldn't have done that, even if the girl was a MAGAT that got upset about Trump being made fun of (hopefully she is not a MAGAT, there was too little in the article to tell one way or the other).
