Donald Trump’s Lighthearted Reaction After Boom Mic Mishap
Donald Trump was accidentally hit in the face by a boom microphone during a media briefing at Joint Base Andrews, hours after criticizing the media in a speech at the Department of Justice. The incident, broadcast live, occurred when a reporter lost grip on the mic while Trump answered questions. The 78-year-old laughed it off, joking that the mic operator “just made television tonight.” However, some right-wing supporters raised security concerns online, with speculation ranging from a potential assault to the mic being laced with poison or biological agents like fentanyl or anthrax. Others called for the crew’s arrest and equipment testing.
