US President Donald Trump found himself at the centre of an unexpected moment during a press briefing at Joint Base Andrews on 14 March when a reporter accidentally bumped a microphone into his face.
Trump was addressing the press before departing from Washington, D.C., when the mishap occurred. As the journalist leaned in, the microphone—fitted with a fuzzy windscreen, commonly known as a "dead cat"—accidentally struck his mouth.
Momentarily taken aback, Trump reacted with a raised eyebrow and a brief glare before breaking into a bemused expression as the microphone was quickly pulled away.
“She made television tonight; she just became a big story tonight,” Trump quipped, drawing laughter from those present.
Visibly amused, he later added with a chuckle, “Did you see that?”
The incident, caught on camera, quickly went viral on social media, with clips circulating widely and sparking humorous reactions online.
