Trump paced on stage at the Ford Center as the protester was led out.
His campaign didn't immediately respond to a request for comment late Thursday.
The president was in town to stump for Republican Senate candidate Mike Braun, who is looking to unseat Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly in what is viewed as one of the nation's most competitive Senate races.
