President Donald Trump had an unexpected run-in with a reporter’s boom mic during a press conference at Joint Base Andrews—and his reaction was classic Trump.
While addressing reporters on the tarmac in Maryland on March 14, the U.S. leader was mid-sentence when a fuzzy, windscreen-covered microphone suddenly bumped into his lips and brushed past his left cheek. Pausing for a brief moment, Trump raised an eyebrow before making a prediction about the person responsible.
"She just made television tonight," he quipped several seconds after impact. "She just became a big story tonight, right? Did you see that?"
The mic operator could be heard quickly apologizing, though their identity has not been made public. The moment, however, has since gone viral.
The mic mishap wasn’t Trump’s only headline-making moment that day. Earlier, he was spotted walking across the White House South Lawn with X Æ A-Xii Musk, the 4-year-old son of Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and musician Grimes, before heading to board Marine One.
Though Trump, who has previously called himself a "germophobe," didn’t publicly comment on the moment, he did praise X at the event, calling him a "great guy" and a "high-IQ individual."
A week later, the president quietly replaced the Resolute Desk with another historic White House piece—the C&O desk—stating it was a "beautiful, but temporary replacement." While Trump didn’t give a reason for the switch, the timing raised eyebrows among observers.
