The elderly gentleman is clearly just walking past. He doesn’t even have his phone out.

Bodyguards do not have police powers,” said one user.

It’s the bodyguard’s job to keep people away from Ivanka Trump when he put his hand up to tell the guy to stay back the guy grabbed him he had every right to push him away that’s what bodyguards do.”
