More extreme takes on social media accused reporters of staging a “secret assassination attempt.”

With a stern look, he then quipped, “She just became a big story tonight,” leaving the audience in shock.
The press conference revealed how an obstructing mic Boom knocked Trump on the face.
The large, fuzzy mic—often called a “dead cat” in the industry—swung too close and made contact.
