Someone accidentally clonked Donald Trump in the face with a boom mic while he was answering questions at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.<\/p>\n

A boom mic is that big fluffy one that looks like someone took the dearly departed family feline and stuck it on the end of a pole, and indeed among some it’s gained the nickname ‘dead cat’.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0US<\/a>\u00a0president glared at the person who’d been holding the giant fluffy microphone and then quipped that ‘she just became a big story tonight’.<\/p>\n

He then continued to answer a few more questions before things wrapped up.<\/p>\n

Beyond the amusement involved in the\u00a0world’s<\/a>\u00a0most powerful man being biffed in the gob by a giant mass of fluff on a stick there were some people who seemed to be taking the whole thing altogether too seriously.<\/p>\n

“Where’s the secret service,” some of\u00a0Trump’s<\/a>\u00a0supporters asked online as to how a person could get so close to him and clonk him with a large object.<\/p>\n

Others wondered whether it could class as ‘assault on the president’, while some in the nether regions of social media cooked up a\u00a0conspiracy<\/a>\u00a0that the boom mic might have been ‘laced with a poison’ or ‘infected with the next pandemic’.<\/p>\n

They said that the ‘mic needs to be tested for all agents’ and suggested what sort of substances might be smeared on the recording equipment, with some of the more outlandish suggestions including ‘fentanyl, anthrax, herpes’.<\/p>\n

One person called for the reporter’s crew to be ‘arrested and all equipment seized and tested for biological weapons or poisons’, claiming that ‘this should be treated as an assassination attempt’.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, besides being clonked in the face by microphones Trump has been busy\u00a0threatening to take Greenland<\/a>\u00a0once again despite them not wanting to be occupied by the US.<\/p>\n

Trump also keeps talking about making Canada ‘our cherished 51st state’ against their wishes, and NBC\u00a0reports<\/a>\u00a0that the US president has asked the military to come up with options for occupying the Panama Canal.<\/p>\n

He’s also been\u00a0throwing out more tariffs<\/a>\u00a0on Canada, Mexico, China,\u00a0the UK<\/a>\u00a0and the EU as he seems intent on starting a trade war with friends, neighbours and rivals alike.<\/p>\n

Trump has also\u00a0been ordered to rehire<\/a>\u00a0scores of workers who had been laid off as part of the cost cutting agenda he and Elon Musk had pursued.<\/p>\n

A wayward boom mic seems like the least of people’s worries right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
