Like some bizarre parody of a Trump rally, a belligerent man in a “Make America Great Again” hat was booted off a plane in Shanghai Sunday — defiantly waving as a crowd of passengers jeered in the terminal: “Lock him up! Lock him up!”

It’s unclear whether Chinese police did jail the man or who he was. As others on the United Airlines flight described it, he started arguing before he stepped onto the plane.

“Obviously, the hat provoked some of the stuff,” said Alexis Zimmerman, who was flying back to Newark from a business trip.

3. He'll probably turn out to be some hedge fund honcho

who was up to absolutely no good in China.

I love the faces of the people behind him, the young ones trying not to laugh and the older ones looking at him the way they look at toddlers throwing tantrums.

I wish we could persuade these people to say home instead of embarrassing this country overseas.

And refused to let others in. What a dirtbag.

7. What an ass! He can't do that!

Either he buys every seat in the row, or he buys a first class ticket. Put up or shut up!
