Bookworm at Trump rally steals The Donald’s thunder

Donald Trump has captured the attention of the world since he announced his intention to become the Republican nominee and, if it were up to him, the next President of the United States.

Currently sitting second in the polls, Trump recently took his campaign to Springfield, Illinois, where he gave a speech that had his supporters fired up – except for one rogue reader, who seemingly would have preferred to be in the quiet coffee shop down the street.

“This hero of a woman spent much of the rally chatting with the companion next to her, checking her phone, and getting engrossed in a paperback,” wrote Kara Brown of Jezebel.

The woman seated in the background certainly stands out from the rest of the crowd, but it becomes nearly impossible to stay focused on Trump when a man seated nearby gestures for her to put the book down.

He should have known better than to interrupt her mid-sentence.

Buzzfeed editor Saeed Jones posted the clip on Twitter and it’s getting a lot of attention from both Democrats and Republicans, with both parties praising the clip as a terrific anti-Trump ad.

The book is allegedly Citizen by Claudia Rankine. I’ve never heard of Rankine or her book, but I am buying it immediately! Anything that inspires a whole new level of shade is well worth $16 on Amazon.
