“Instead of just being a bystander and just taking everything he throws verbally at us,” Truax said into the camera, he decided to do something about it.

“We’re about to make a splash,” Truax’s friend said on the video, then Truax cursed out the president, repeating the song’s expletive-laden refrain. “You can’t be coming on my block supporting some Donald Trump [expletive]. You ’bout to go get hit.”

Soon after arriving at the arena, Truax launched two water balloons into the crowd. Then he was promptly arrested.

On Thursday, Truax, who could not be reached for a comment, pleaded guilty to creating a disturbance in a public place, according to WZZM.

“I was throwing water balloons at Trump supporters,” he told the district court judge. The misdemeanor carries a sentence of up to 90 days in jail and a $500 fine.

Later, Truax uploaded the day’s events to his YouTube page — including the drive, arrest and his friends bailing him out — footage that will surely supplement his sentencing next month.

“It’s some water balloons, bro,” he said on film.

Local police were not amused.

“The larger the group, the more dangerous something like this can be,” Grand Rapids Police Sgt. Cathy Williams told WZZM. “You can hit someone and injure them, but you can also incite panic in a group.“

When interviewed by WZZM, Truax said: Sorry, he’s not sorry.

“Sorry that I got you wet, but you should’ve brought a long sleeve to keep a little bit warm,” he said, adding that if given the opportunity, he would probably do it again. “I’d try to get three water balloons out this time,” he said.

Truax said he is standing up for Americans who are against the president, “just like Malcolm X.”

He added, “Actions speak louder than words.”
