j.j. holmes has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair. he and his mother, alison holmes, attended a trump rally on saturday to protest the gop nominee<u+2019>s mockery of people with disabilities. as they were being removed from the rally by security, trump<u+2019>s supporters began pushing and kicking the child<u+2019>s wheelchair. 




<u+201c>the crowd started chanting <u+2018>u-s-a<u+2019> and pushing his wheelchair,<u+201d> alison said. <u+201c>we were put out by security. mr. trump kept saying, <u+2018>get them out.<u+2019><u+201d> 




<u+201c>i hate donald trump. i hate donald trump,<u+201d> j.j. said through his vocalization device. 




the next day, j.j. and his mom got to meet the president of the united states after a rally for hillary clinton in kissimmee, florida. the experience was the polar opposite of what they had experienced the day before.
