On Friday, President Donald Trump was speaking to reporters when he was smacked in the face by one of the reporters holding a microphone.
In a video posted to X, you can see Trump intently listening to a reporter asking a question, when a microphone hits him in the face, near his mouth and chin, before being quickly pulled away. In typical Trump fashion, he glares at the person who smacked him with a sharp side eye, before raising his eyebrows.
“She just made television tonight,” the president then said. “She just became a big story tonight. Did you see that?”

“Secret Service once yelled at me for swaying slightly near JD Vance,” declared political Fox News reporter Cameron Arcand. “This is a whole other level.”
