Trump Struck by Boom Mic During Press Conference

The incident occurred as President Trump answered questions at Joint Base Andrews, prompting a mix of reactions online.

President Donald Trump was hit in the face by a boom microphone while speaking with reporters at Joint Base Andrews on March 14, 2025.
The microphone, covered with a 'dead cat' windscreen, accidentally brushed his mouth and face as a reporter leaned in to ask a question.
Trump reacted with a sharp glare and raised eyebrows before joking, 'She just became a big story tonight,' and resuming the press conference.
Video of the incident quickly went viral, sparking a mix of humor, concern, and conspiracy theories about potential security lapses.
Some conservative commentators criticized the Secret Service for allowing the mic to get so close, while others praised Trump for handling the moment with humor.
