A heckler interrupted Donald Trump's speech at a rally in Mississippi on Monday, shouting criticism of his White House ballroom project before being escorted out.

A heckler interrupted President Donald Trump's rally at the Crossroads Arena in Corinth, Mississippi on Monday evening, shouting criticism of his White House ballroom project. Trump told the heckler to 'go home' repeatedly as security escorted him from the venue. The crowd booed the protester and chanted 'USA, USA, USA' as he left.

Trump claimed without evidence that the heckler was a 'paid protestor' given $250 by billionaire George Soros to disrupt the event. He told the audience: 'They think it's Soros. And they ruin their lives.' Trump smiled and laughed at the interruption as his supporters rallied around him.

The heckler's outburst reflects criticism of Trump's $400 million ballroom project at the White House, which required demolishing the century-old East Wing in October 2025. Trump has said the venue will provide a secure space to host large events and ultimately save Americans money. However, critics have argued the project is wasteful and out-of-touch, particularly given concerns about the rising cost of living and other issues affecting voters ahead of midterm elections.
