Two St. John’s University college students got into an altercation because one of them had a Trump sticker on her laptop.
According to the New York Daily News, Eighteen-year-old Clifford Durand started things off by posting an image of another student who had a Trump sticker on her laptop. Durand tweeted, “7000 retweets and i’ll smash this b***h’s computer.”
Within four hours, the image had been retweeted 16,000 times, and the student in the picture, 20-year-old Brianna Algazali, was alerted to the fact that her image was going around social media. She confronted Durand and demanded that he take the image down, throwing her cup of green tea at him during the heated argument.

“She raised her voice and she threw her drink on him,” a friend of Durand told the New York Daily News. “He looked like he was in shock. I went towards him to hold him back.”
Witnesses say that Durand shoved Algazali after she threw her drink, and their claims are backed up by his tweet shortly afterward, which reads, “SHE THREW HER STARBUCKS AT ME AFTER CUSSING ME OUT AND SHE GOT SHOVED IN THE NECK.”
