YouTube star Joey Salads is SPAT on and labelled a ‘piece of s***’ while filming himself wearing ‘Make America Great Again’ hat after anti-Trump march as a ‘social experiment’

A YOUTUBE star has been filmed being spat at and insulted as he walks around New York in a pro-Donald Trump hat.

Joey Salads – real name Joseph Saladino – strolled around Manhattan in one of the new US president’s trademark “Make America Great Again” hats as part of an apparent social experiment.

Someone else walking in front of the web prankster filmed him as he ambled through the Democrat stronghold in the wake of the Women’s March last weekend.

Almost 80 per cent of voters in the presidential election backed Trump’s rival Hillary Clinton, despite the Republican coming from New York.

After initially being greeted by Trump supporters in Union Square a man knocks the hat from Salads’ head as he passes through a park.

The video shows him pick up the hat and keep walking.

But soon afterwards, there is another aggressive-looking encounter.

This time, a man in a hoodie blocks Salads’ path, spitting on the floor in front of him.

The assailant shouts in his face: “F*** you, racist piece of s***.”

Just after this, a group of passers-by come over to ask him what happened.

When Saladino tells them his thinks the incident was sparked by the hat he is wearing, one of them tells him: “I would have kicked him.

“He spit at his feet. That's disgusting.”

Saladino has come under fire for his social experiments before, after one of them was exposed as a set-up.

Critics branded the internet celeb “racist” after an experiment claiming to prove “the black community is very violent toward Donald Trump and his supporters” was proved to be a fake.

He claimed to have left a car plastered in pro-Trump stickers in a mainly black neighbourhood  and then filmed it being vandalised.
