Hope there was no ricin on that microphone cover
In all seriousness: when has a president been so hated? How many attempts have they made to kill him? How many planes suddenly flying into restricted airspace at Mar- A-Lago?
These all seem like testing the waters acts. Maybe Trump should keep a very safe distance from these fools.
I don’t trust them to not stop trying to kill him.
I worked one of those mics for a student project a couple times. I could see a day 1, maybe first week, boom guy making the mistake.
That said, with so many other "testing the water" things appearing to happen, even IF this was a newb accident, the enemy takes note & now knows a potential weak link.
Controlling a tip at 8-10ft if very different that at 16-20ft.
