An American reporter’s encounter with Donald Trump recently went viral after the former US president gave her a sharp “death stare” following an accidental microphone mishap.

The incident took place as Trump was preparing to depart from Washington, DC, while surrounded by a crowd of reporters asking questions about the situation in Gaza.

During the exchange, a reporter’s microphone accidentally hit Trump’s face. Trump’s immediate reaction — raising an eyebrow and giving the reporter an icy, disapproving stare — quickly caught the attention of viewers.

Trump responded with a mix of humor and visible irritation, saying, “She made television tonight, she just became a big story tonight.” Laughing in disbelief, he added, “Did you see that?”

The footage of the incident quickly spread on social media, drawing mixed reactions. Some viewers found the situation amusing, while others commented on the intensity of Trump’s reaction.

The awkward moment has sparked conversations about the unpredictable nature of live press events and the intense scrutiny faced by public figures during media interactions.
