During an interview at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, USA, former president Donald Trump was accidentally hit by a reporter’s microphone. His reaction quickly went viral on social media.
Donald Trump was struck in the face by a microphone on Friday (14) during an interview, shortly after stating that he had a “good” conversation with Vladimir Putin, which could lead to a deal between Russia and Ukraine.
During the interview, a foam-covered microphone, held by a reporter, hit his face. Video footage shows strong winds in the area, which may have caused the device to move toward Trump’s face.
Trump’s reaction was considered sharp by some users. “This just became tonight’s biggest news. It just made it on TV,” he said with an annoyed expression, which later turned into a slight smile.
Many commentators on X, formerly Twitter, saw it as a harmless incident. However, some of Donald Trump’s more radical supporters began spreading theories that the microphone may have been poisoned.
“How did a reporter get so close to Trump’s face with that microphone? This doesn’t seem right. Security needs to be tighter. A disgrace for the media,” one user wrote.
“If Trump gets sick or feels unwell in the coming days, that microphone could have been contaminated. It should have been confiscated immediately!” argued another.
