Trump protester is put in a chokehold and dragged away from Connecticut rally
Donald Trump spoke in Waterbury, Connecticut on Saturday Trump
Aide Paul Manafort told reporters earlier this week that the Republican frontrunner was planning to evolve
An anti-Trump protester was placed into a chokehold and forcibly removed from a Connecticut rally on Saturday by the police.
The protester who was dressed in camouflage clothing was dragged out of the Klein Memorial auditorium in Bridgeport after interrupting Trump's speech.
Witnesses say after being taken out for the first time, he then tried to run back in which resulted in the chokehold.
'Protester being escorted out at Trump's Bridgeport rally tried to run back into the crowd. Officer put him in a chokehold, dragged him out,' tweeted UConn student Kyle Constable.
'They waste our time, but they make it interesting,' Trump then told the crowd during the incident. 'What's more fun than a Trump rally.'
The controversial Republican front-runner's campaign stops have been marred by violent clashes between protesters and supporters.
In February, while in Nevada, Trump declared he'd like to 'punch a protester in the face' for disrupting his rally and lamented it was no longer the 'good old days' where such people would have been 'carried out on a stretcher'.
That same month, a photographer was slammed to the ground by a Secret Service agent after cursing toward the agent during a dispute over where the photographer was allowed to be.
In March, a Donald Trump supporter was arrested for punching a black protester in the face at a Fayetteville, North Carolina rally.
A Chicago rally was also cancelled after a massive protest.
A confident Trump told supporters on Saturday that he's not changing his pitch to voters, a day after his chief adviser assured Republican officials their party's front-runner would show more restraint while campaigning.
'You know, being presidential's easy — much easier than what I have to do,' he told thousands at a rally in Bridgeport, Connecticut. 'Here, I have to rant and rave. I have to keep you people going. Otherwise you're going to fall asleep on me, right?'
Trump declared to the crowd that he has no intention of reversing any of his provocative policy plans, including building a wall along the length of the Southern border.
'Everything I say I'm going to do, folks, I'll do,' he said.
Trump's new chief adviser, Paul Manafort, met Thursday with top Republican officials and told them his candidate, known for his over-the-top persona and brashness, has been 'projecting an image.'
'The part that he's been playing is now evolving,' Manafort said.
At a rally in Waterbury, Connecticut, earlier Saturday, Trump joked about how it's easy to be presidential, making a series of faux somber faces. But he said told the crowd he can be serious and policy-minded when he has to be.
Manafort 'said, 'you know, Donald can be different when he's in a room.' Who isn't,' asked Trump. 'When I'm out here talking to you people, I've got to be different.'
The Republican front-runner and most of his rivals in both parties were out campaigning Saturday across the quintet of Northeastern states holding primaries on Tuesday, including Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Rhode Island and Connecticut. For the Republicans, in particular, the stakes are high as Trump looks to sweep the remaining contests and reach the required 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the nomination, while his rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich look to thwart his efforts and force the race into a contested convention.
Trump revived his birther criticism of rival Cruz, which he has previously used to suggest the Texas senator is ineligible to run for president.
'Rafael! Straight out of the hills of Canada!' he declared, referring to Cruz by his given name. Most experts say that Cruz is eligible to serve in the White House even though he was born to an American mother on Canadian soil, but Trump has worked to sow doubts.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping!

SUMMARY

Rochester () is a city on the southern shore of Lake Ontario in western New York. With a population of 208,046 residents, Rochester is the seat of Monroe County and the third most populous city in New York state, after New York City and Buffalo. The metropolitan area has a population of just over 1 million people. It is about 73 miles (117 km) east of Buffalo and 87 miles (140 km) west of Syracuse.
Rochester was one of America's first boomtowns, initially due to the fertile Genesee River Valley, which gave rise to numerous flour mills, and then as a manufacturing hub.

Rochester is the site of many important inventions and innovations in consumer products. The Rochester area has been the birthplace to Kodak, Western Union, French's, Bausch & Lomb, Gleason and Xerox, which conduct extensive research and manufacturing of industrial and consumer products. Until 2010, the Rochester metropolitan area was the second-largest regional economy in New York State, after the New York City metropolitan area. Rochester's GMP has since ranked just below Buffalo, New York, while exceeding it in per-capita income.The 25th edition of the Places Rated Almanac rated Rochester as the most livable city in 2007, among 379 U.S. metropolitan areas. In 2010, Forbes rated Rochester as the third-best place to raise a family in the United States. In 2012, Kiplinger rated Rochester as the fifth-best city in the United States for families, citing low cost of living, top public schools, and a low jobless rate.Rochester is a Globa ...
