A Manhattan art gallery owner claims he was viciously beaten by 15 youths shouting F--- Trump! while walking down a Chinatown street in a Make America Great Again baseball cap.

Jahangir Turan, 42, suffered a gruesome left eye injury when jumped by the group on Canal St. near Broadway about 7:30 p.m. Monday, shortly after purchasing the familiar red hat inside the Trump Tower. Turan told the Daily News that he suffered an orbital floor fracture to a bone in his left eye when slammed against a piece of the scaffolding on the sidewalk.

They beat me up for wearing the hat, Turan said Thursday. They were saying Why are you wearing that? One girl flipped the hat off my head, and I tried to grab it. Then they came after me. One guy grabbed me from behind and slammed my head against a metal post.

Turan said he picked up the hat in an impulse purchase just a short time earlier inside President Trumps Fifth Ave. skyscraper, just around the corner from his nearby David Parker Gallery on W. 57th St. where works by Andy Warhol and Salvador Dal are available.

He was headed to dinner with a friend when targeted over his pro-Trump headwear.

Police arrived at the scene but made no arrests, in part because the victim could not give the officers a description of his attackers.

You know what? Turan told the News. It happened too quick. I didnt have time to think. The cops were like, Can you ID them? And I couldnt. It was just this guy being a punk. Its almost like he just did it because all his boys were there.

Turan, who declined medical attention at the scene, was later diagnosed with the bone fracture. But hes irate that three days later, police had yet to track down any suspects.

Of course Im (angry) why do you think I went to the media? he said. I felt angry after Tuesday and Wednesday, when I didnt see them doing anything. Two days, no arrests. I think some of these cops are anti-Trump.

Turan supports the president: I mean, listen, hes doing a good job. My opinion.

Violence over a MAGA hat is uncalled for, but thats the risk you take when you proudly wear a symbol of hatred and bigotry

So let's pick this apart

He bought it on impulse and immediately afterwards was attacked by a group of 15 people and when cops asked he refused to give descriptions of anyone.

Forgive me if I'm skeptical

Not the first time a Trumpeter has faked an attack on themselves.

Sounds like either a massive exaggeration or possibly even nonsense, but fuck anyone who feels violence is a proper response to a fucking hat if it did happen.

Wow.

Imagine comparing Trump's presidency to groups who literally killed people just because of their race or religion.

Please tell me this is intentionally ironic. All these years on the internet have ruined my sense.

Seems pretty easy for them to verify whether or not he's the Art Director for the Gallery he claims he manages.

Is this really where we are at? You support Trump and you are literally as bad as what the Nazis did during ww2? Come on. That is so shallow and ignorant.

The Trump Administration: Like the Nazis, just substantially less competent.

Something to really hang your MAGA hat on, there.

No I'm talking about 21st century nazis. Y'know, a significant portion of Trump's voting base? A member of such murdered an innocent woman in Charlottesville?

not for nothing but I am extremely familiar with the canal street + broadway area, it's Soho, Little Italy + Chinatown - there is absolutely nothing for "youths" since people are there for either food, fashion or knockoffs. it's an INCREDIBLY CONGESTED area, I'd find it hard to believe someone wouldn't have seen anything let alone 15 kids

like at the least it'd be so congested because of the narrow streets that people would have been pushed into the streets.

maybe he did get attacked but 15 kids is a sketchy thing to say - that area is incredibly tourist heavy

And? We've already establish the faulty logic of looking at a tiny % of supporters who are bad and applying that to the entire group and the president himself.

It happens way too often with this group for there to be no causation >_>
