Former President Donald Trump had an unusual interruption during a press briefing at Joint Base Andrews on Friday—this time, not from a journalist’s tough question, but from a wayward microphone.
The Boom Mic Blunder
While speaking to reporters, a boom mic unexpectedly made contact with Trump’s face and shoulder. In typical Trump fashion, he raised his eyebrows at the mishap before completely ignoring a journalist’s question about the situation in Gaza. Instead, he focused on the accidental hit, joking that the media would make a big deal out of the moment—and he wasn’t wrong!
Going Viral & Social Media Buzz
The clip is already making waves online, with many commenting on Trump’s reaction and speculating about which media outlet was responsible for the mic mishap. Fortunately for the journalist involved, there was no hair disaster to report—Trump’s signature hairstyle remained intact.
