The Resume

    (October 2000- )
    Born in San Diego, California
    High school student based in Billings, Montana
    Appeared at a televised Trump rally in Billings (September 7, 2018) and was seen on camera making odd facial expressions before being asked to leave by Trump staffers
    Also known as the #PlaidShirtGuy

Why he might be annoying:

    Yet another flash-in-the-pan political memetic celebrity, much like Joe the Plumber and Ken Bone.
    He was selected to go to Trump's rally, despite disagreeing with most of Trump's policies.
    He identifies as a Democratic Socialist, supports Bernie Sanders, and wore a DSA Rose emblem at the rally.
    He had planned to get Trump to sign a copy of the Communist Manifesto disguised as Trump's book 'The Art of the Deal' as a joke.
    Some Trump supporters thought he and his friends at the rally looked like 'meth-heads' or 'school shooters'.

Why he might not be annoying:

    When asked to leave the rally, he agreed to leave respectfully and gracefully.
    He claimed he wanted to go to the rally because it was a rare opportunity to see the President in person.
    He said that he 'had to be honest in his views', and that the facial expressions he made were honest reactions to Trump's speech.
    He disagreed with Trump's tax plan, claiming that it gave tax breaks to the wealthy and would not benefit anyone else.
    During his time in school, he's been part of teams taking part in the National Science Bowl.
    He earned the approval of thousands of Trump's critics on social media, and became a viral celebrity from the publicity.
