Billings West High School senior Tyler Linfesty learned Thursday morning during first period that he had been selected for VIP treatment at President Donald J. Trump's rally at MetraPark.
Linfesty had applied for tickets to the rally earlier in the week. After earning VIP treatment, he went to tell his friends.
Fellow seniors Erik Hovland and Christian Dunlap were walking to class when Linfesty "approached us in the hallway looking pretty frantic, talking about how he gets the opportunity to get a picture with the president," Hovland said.
Early on in the Trump rally, a Billings Gazette reporter saw staffers in the press pen looking at a photo in which Linfesty was circled.
Later Linfesty pinned a stylized rose emblem representing the Democratic Socialists of America to his right breast. The same group of staffers reviewed a photo of the emblem and searched online for more information. A short while later, Linfesty was removed.
"I saw this woman walking toward me on the left," he said. "She just said to me, 'I'm going to replace you.'"
As a joke, he also gave a copy of the "Communist Manifesto" wrapped with an "Art of the Deal" cover to Secret Service in hopes of having the president sign it. Agents did not grant his request, and the president didn't sign the book, he said.
"I didn't do it because I'm a communist," Linfesty said. "I did it because I thought it was funny as a joke."

Sure am glad none of us ever did stupid stuff at that age.
High school commies grow up to be Lavrenti Beria or Pol Pot or Ernesto Guevara
A short rope....save money
I was a lefty
Never a commie pinko
Not that damn stupid.
Camera Linfesty.. Lordy. Another idiot with media time.
Get a life.
If they're too low energy don't ask them to stand behind the President.
If they're too high energy, they should be looked at with skepticism.
Look for people who are quietly respectful. Not people jumping up and down looking to be noticed for their faux enthusiasm.
You want Trump fans not fake fanatics.
I agree. I would like it however, if they could possible vet the people who get the privilege to stand right behind the president a little better.
This is still pretty funny though (LANGUAGE WARNING).
Sad Plaid, Daria, and Big Red get ejected SUPER CUT
Feel bad for "Daria" who turned out to be a dude.
We all knew something was messed up about him.
What a chump
Assclown
No different than the leftards who used to troll republican rallies with deliberately misspelled signs
Sounds like a truly arrogant rearhole.
Enjoy the rest of your life sweeping up garbage and playing video games, loser.
You mean like Obama who always had to wave, and block the face of another foreign leader during summit group photos?
Hardly an excuse, especially when you consider the Leftists/Dems want to reduce the voting age way down, probably low enough to include immature kids like this.
Freepers on the live thread were all over this guy. They KNEW there was something hinky about this guy.
Maybe the Secret Service should monitor our live threads during Trump rallies to get clues.
Probably still lives in his parents basement like that 30 year old loser who had to be evicted by his parents to get him to leave.
It wasn’t low energy. This nasty tool was mouthing F __K you to POTUS and acting very weird. Pointing at his little commie sticker.
This stuff isn’t funny.President Trump gets threatened all the time.
Arthur H. Bremer tried to kill candidate George W. Wallace in 1972, shot and left Wallace permanently paralyzed. A picture showed him sort of smirking but smiling as he pretended to be a normal member of the crowd.
John W. Hinckley,Jr. shot President Reagan in order to impress actress Jodie Foster.
Don’t trust any of these creeps like the plaid shirt azzhole. That goes for Parkland jerks who haven’t shot anyone yet (their classmate Cruz did).
Good post. Not everybody is aware of these details.
It’s a privilege to be so close to the President. They really should try to avoid putting idiots like that where they will be seen by everyone. I once went to the filming of a TV show, and they were moving people around to put the photogenic ones up front. I certainly don’t mean to judge superficially like that, but use some sense. I hope they weren’t selected by lottery; that would REALLY be dumb.
His parents must be proud.
