Donald Trump, during a campaign rally in Hershey, Pennsylvania, on Friday night, gave a startlingly different account of how President Barack Obama handled a protester earlier in the day.

Obama was in Fayetteville, North Carolina, rallying voters for Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton. At one point, a protester held up a Donald Trump sign from among the crowd, and the crowd lost it, yelling and booing at the man.

The incident generated headlines not because of what the protester did, but because of how Obama responded to that protester:

Here's how Trump framed the incident to his own audience hours later:

During Obama's event in North Carolina, he struggled to refocus the crowd, but ultimately implored them with a familiar call to action: "Don't boo, vote."

The Clinton campaign has deployed the president to Ohio, North Carolina, Florida, and Pennsylvania - key battleground states for the Democratic presidential nominee - hoping Obama's high popularity would boost voter turnout.
