A security expert has spoken out on sinister ‘poison’ declares after Donald Trump got hi:t in the face by a microphone.
Trump has attracted spotlight on social media once again after getting clocked by a reporter’s boom mic on Friday (14 March) just a matter of hours after he made a speech at the Department of Justice.
Would you consider what happened to be a ‘rare incident’?
A security expert tells: “Yeah, it’s not something you would expect with a president.”
He then mentioned the ‘difference’ between Trump’s administration and that of the previous president Joe Biden, claiming the latter did ‘very few’ press conferences and noted that the ones he did do were ‘very distant’.
“President Trump is trying to be a man of the people,” expert notes.
“So he’s having probably seven or eight conferences with the press every day. So he’s an incredibly busy guy.”
Why are some people so outraged over what happened?
“Well, it’s clumsy, fundamentally, by whoever was holding the mic,” He replied, “to shove it so close into his face.”
While noting that the press meeting in question took place ‘on an airstrip or somewhere where there was obviously a lot of background noise and ambient noise’, he found that: “But again, those kinds of mics would be pretty good at picking up the sound, so the reporter’s clumsiness of shoving it into his face was a little too much.”
How did Trump react to it?
In respect of Trump’s reaction, he considers the president found it ‘very amusing’.
“You know, he was obviously not best pleased about it. But I think in terms of the way he reacted? He was very calm, cool, and collected about it,” the expert added.
“So I have to say, bearing in mind,he was shoved in the face by a mic, it was pretty bad news, but yeah, he was very cool about it.”
What are the consequences of a security ‘error’ like that?
He said that because the mic accident happened during the a press meeting which was ‘so up close and personal’, Trump may start ‘keeping a bit of distance’ adding: “I think the Secret Service will be ensuring that nobody can get quite as close enough as they did the last time.”
He continued: “It’s highly unlikely that anybody wouldn’t have been thoroughly searched and all their equipment searched and checked as well before they were allowed anywhere near him.
