Donald Trump is causing quite the ruckus in American politics.
What started as a parody campaign has now, nine months later, mushroomed into a legitimate bid for the White House. That's upsetting to the political establishment on both sides of the aisle and now, both the media and America's entrenched political establishment are struggling to come to terms with the brazen billionaire's success.
Last week, in what some view as a prelude to a fascist future for America, Trump suggested he would change libel laws in order to give himself greater scope to sue journalists who pen negative articles about him. But as you'll see from the clip shown below, he may have had a legitimate reason for his position.

Here is the start of the altercation:
The reporter, one Christopher Morris, reached for the throat of a secret service agent.
"I never touched him," Morris says, in what appears to be a lie.
Moments ago the Secret Service officially admitted that the photographer really did attack a secret service agent, who perhaps was expecting the altrecation to be with a paid Trump bodyguard, which would allow him to claim media repression.
It did not quite work out that way.
And some other angles of the altercation:
