Former firefighter Fred Higginbotham told Rep. Mark Alford “You need to take your head out of Trump's ass and start doing your representation of us,” during a Monday town hall in Missouri.

The Missouri farmer further advised that if they want to straighten out the budget, they “should start taxing corporations and the wealthy, like we've been telling you.”

“I am pissed, and I’m pissed at you,” a man who called himself Fred Higginbotham told Alford at a town hall on Monday. Later, unable to contain his profanity as he warned might happen, “You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass and start doing your representation of us.”

The crowd cheered and whooped at that one.

Fred Higginbotham, citizen:

The town hall began with a prayer and a lecture to be grateful we live in such a “free” country. This was said as Trump is deploying military against Americans for no reason and signed an executive order to prosecute anyone who burns the flag, which is symbolic of prosecuting free speech.

Higginbotham urged Alford to study his dad’s U.S. Constitution book and “get Trump out of office” because he’s a “dictator.”

“I listened to him for about a half hour today and I got sick at all the lies he (Trump) brought up.”

Higgenbotham also brought up that he had lived in California for a long time and they know how to work together in that state, unlike Missouri. (As a former Californian, I cannot disagree.)

Watch here:

Higginbotham: I've lived in Polk County, and since ‘98 I was a firefighter in California. I saw what could can happen when a state works together with its people. This state does not know how to do that. I inherited a century farm from my father because he was born, raised here. My great, great grandfather helped open this university. I am pissed.

I'm pissed at you because I have emailed you because it's easier for me than to try to talk on the phone without profanity.

I would appreciate you taking your father's US Constitution book, read it, study it, make your own lines underneath it, and get Trump out above us. The man is a dictator. He knows nothing about what he talks about. I listened to him for about a half hour today, and I got sick and all the lies he brought up.

Now I’m ready to lose my farm. Do you know why? I'm sure you don't know why.

Alford: Who's your what?

Higgenbotham: Farm, yeah.

Alford: Why is that, sir?

Higgenbotham: Because Missouri does not have wills. They have trust. They have legal zigzags and a trust. Most people don't know anything about so I'm dealing with a state that's a crooked state doesn't care about what farmers happen. The only reason why we have farmers today is because the federal government funds them. How much of our tax money goes to farmers? Farmers work very hard, but they're funded by the federal government, not by selling groceries.
