Momentarily taken aback, Trump reacted with a raised eyebrow and a brief glare before breaking into a bemused expression as the microphone was quickly pulled away.
“She made television tonight; she just became a big story tonight,” Trump quipped, drawing laughter from those present.
Visibly amused, he later added with a chuckle, “Did you see that?”
The incident, caught on camera, quickly went viral on social media, with clips circulating widely and sparking humorous reactions online.
