A body language expert has revealed what the president was really feeling after he got hit in the face by a boom mic live on TV.
Donald Trump was attending a press briefing in Maryland on Friday (March 14) when he was suddenly struck in the face with a large, fuzzy boom mic, also known as a muff.
The muff grazed past his mouth and slid across his face in the bizarre moment while the POTUS leaned back and shot the reporter a glance.
Extended microphones are used by reporters to keep their distance from the camera shot when interviewing, but clearly on this occasion, the distance between Trump and the muff was somewhat miscalculated.
The president shot the reporter, a woman, some daggers before raising his eyebrows and laughing as he asked someone off camera: “Did you see that?”
Trump soon commented on the incident, saying: “She just made television tonight. She just became a big story tonight.”
