U.S. President Donald Trump's speech in San Antonio, Texas, was interrupted repeatedly by protesters during a rally held to support Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton.
At least nine protesters were removed from the venue. White House reporters covering the rally estimated that about 12 people interrupted the speech, while no official precise figure was given for the total number of protesters.
Trump paused his speech after each protest and was booed by the crowd. Chants of "USA" were heard in the hall after the interventions.
As a protester near the stage was being removed from the hall, Trump said the person was "going back to his mother right now" and claimed that the protester's mother had voted for him. As another protester was removed, he said the person needed to lose weight.
Trump alleged that some of the protesters were demonstrating in exchange for money. Claiming that they were financed by "the enemies of the country," Trump called on those who believed the protesters were being paid to leave the hall.

Trump reiterates Medicare and $5,000 promises
At another point in his speech, Trump said his administration had identified "billions of dollars" that should have been used to improve Medicare but had not been spent. He said the money would be returned to older Americans.
Trump also announced that, starting the following day, more than 20 million older Americans covered by Medicare would receive checks or bank payments of more than $100. He said more than 1.4 million members of this group were in Texas.
He also reiterated his promise to send $5,000 to every adult citizen in the United States if Republicans win both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the November midterm elections.
