During a speech to a rally, Donald Trump initially reassured a distressed mother with a crying baby, telling her not to worry - only to change his mind.
"Actually I was only kidding, you can get the baby out of here," he said a few minutes later.

She says primitive parts of our brains are activated by a baby's cry and that it can be very distracting when doing something complex, like making a speech.
