Donald Trump's Reaction to Microphone Incident
President Donald Trump reacted amusingly after a microphone struck him during a press conference at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.
During the event on March 14, amid reporters gathering on the tarmac, a boom mic accidentally hit Trump in the face. As he answered a question regarding the Gaza Strip, the foam-covered microphone bumped into his lips and brushed against his cheek.
Trump glanced at the camera and raised his eyebrows. He quipped, "She just made television tonight," reflecting on the mic incident's unexpected celebrity. He continued, "She just became a big story tonight, right? Did you see that?"
Though the microphone operator quickly apologized for the mishap, the moment has attracted significant attention and gone viral. The identity of the person has not been disclosed.
Trump attracted more viral fame later when he was seen on the White House South Lawn with X Æ A-Xii Musk, the four-year-old son of Elon Musk and the artist Grimes. As they approached Marine One, Trump let the child board first. However, he stumbled slightly as he followed X up the stairs.
Musk, a close advisor to Trump, has frequently brought his son to the White House. In a notable visit earlier in February, they participated in a press conference about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This session also went viral when young X stood at the Resolute Desk and humorously picked his nose.
Even though Trump has described himself as a "germophobe," he did not comment on that playful moment. However, he did commend Elon’s son, calling him a "great guy" and a "high-IQ individual."
Following this whirlwind week, Trump opted to have the Resolute Desk, with which he had been associated, sent for "light refinishing." In its place, he temporarily used the historic C&O desk. He described this replacement as "beautiful, but temporary" without further details on the desk change.
