Trump supporters have expressed concern and frustration over a lapse in security surrounding the President following an incident on Friday when he was knocked in the face by a ‘reporter’ holding a microphone on a long boom pole.
Trump was answering questions on the tarmac before boarding Air Force One when the incident occurred.

At first it seemed funny.

While his reaction was typically priceless and has already spawned plenty of memes, many have pointed out that this was a serious breach.
That's a concerning security breach. I amazed that reporters are that close.

Supporters on X noted that anything could have been placed on the mic that was thrust into the President’s face.
An assassin with a ricin tipped microphone (an amount of only a few specs of dust would suffice) could kill the president in this manner.

This is a security failure.
How many attempts on Donald Trump's life must be made before Secret Service tightens up?pic.twitter.com/HlLjzPD2TL
Could of had anthrax on it. She should be put in jail

There could've been anything on that mic fabric. That shouldn't be allowed. Why not a podium?

Others noted that reporter was not immediately removed and detained or subsequently questioned.
Indeed, she hasn’t even been identified.
Deadly virus. Fentanyl. Anthrax. Come on. Look at the reporter. All khaki? No makeup? Unkempt hair. And those glasses. @FBIDirectorKash

what the fuck are you guys doing???? @SecretService
Others wanted to know if the Secret Service even bothered to confiscate and test the implement for potential harmful substances.
@SecretService, was the microphone confiscated and tested for any deadly compounds or elements?

If not, We the People demand to know who in command allowed the microphone to leave the scene untested and request their immediate removal. https://t.co/bw7sUKLa9S
Different angles of the incident show the woman holding the boom mic, apparently unable to control it from that distance.

?The Mic to President Trump’s face wasn’t an accident.

Shotgun microphones, popular in news and video production, are designed to capture sound at a distance, typically effective from a few feet to around 10 feet, depending on the microphone and environment.

Here's a different view of Trump being hit with microphone. He doesn't look amused. ? So, from this angle, does it look intentional? ??????? pic.twitter.com/A6mjfiiIVz

Likely this was just a clumsy woman trying to hold the mic, but given that there are agents of enemy governments, as well as deranged leftists out there intent on assassinating Trump, actions should immediately be taken within the Secret Service.

Imagine what would happen if she hit Crown Prince Mohammad bid Salmon in the face like that. Trump is quite gracious indeed.
At first I thought, how the hell does someone accidentally it the President with a microphone?! Then, after reading the article found out that it was a woman…
Gloryosti! Who vetted that “reporter”!? Anyone worth their weight in salt would conduct themselves better & same for the secret service… where’s the decorum and even some common decency, let alone respect. If not for this POTUS but for the position at large.
I thought we had someone there that knew what they were doing. Lackluster at best.
paranoia again. because accidents never happen to don the old. its always a plot isn’t it? lol
Probably was an accident, but even someone as dense as you must be able to see the security breach. I wonder if you would be saying the same if it were Biden hit by the mic? Then again, Biden avoided the press most of the time and only let the Left wing MSM ask timid, pre-vetted questions.
Another stupid comment from an unserious nobody. Try growing up, moron.
