Passengers applauded after a woman who berated a Trump supporter for "putting that man's finger on the nuclear button" was thrown off a plane.

Videos shared online on Saturday, the day after the inauguration of the new US president, showed her being escorted off an aeroplane after sharing her views about a fellow passenger's support of Donald Trump.

The woman told a flight attendant that she would like the man next to her to change seats, seemingly because of his support of Donald Trump.
