Donald Trump alleged that Democrats pay protesters $250 (about £185) in remarks accompanying a clip of officers removing a protester from a rally. The posts offer no proof that the protester was paid.

'You know they get paid $250, we found out,' Trump said during the Michigan rally, before alleging that the money comes from Democrats, 'the Soros people' and others. The accusation echoes comments he made during separate campaign appearances in Kansas and North Carolina.
