The incident, which occurred after a question about the Gaza Strip, initially caught Trump off guard. He leaned back, appearing momentarily irritated, before breaking into laughter.
Trump, never one to let a moment pass without a quip, quickly turned the blunder into a headline. “Did you see that? She just made television tonight,” he said, flashing his signature smirk.
“She just became a big story tonight.” The remark, a sharp but humorous response, was his way of acknowledging the situation while keeping control of the room.
