Former President Donald Trump held a rally and was briefly interrupted by protesters in Iowa on Sunday — the first time it’s happened in years.

“You’ve taken millions!” a woman shouted as Trump was mid-rally, prompting the crowd to respond with a “Trump!” chant to drown her out.

“Go back to Mommy,” Trump responded as she was led out of the room.

“So young and immature,” he said.

Moments later came another protester, this one holding a black and yellow banner that read, “Trump Climate Criminal.”

He shouted the same thing.

The same group interrupted a Ron DeSantis town hall and a separate event for the Florida governor in Ames last week.

When he was running in 2016, Trump’s events were routinely interrupted by protesters.

“It’s amazing, because that used to happen all of the time … thank you very much,” he told the crowd.

“It always adds excitement, I will say that” he added.
