If you’re in the White House press corps and your job is to cover President Trump, one thing you probably want to avoid doing at all costs is smacking him in the face.
For one reporter, that was a big fail today.

But what really struck me about this (no pun intended) is President Trump’s reaction.
This is the most powerful man in the world, guarded by teams of Secret Service, a man who has had at least two known and very close assassination attempts….and so hitting him in the face with something is a real no-no.
And his reaction was simply perfect, if you ask me.
He didn’t pretend it didn’t happen….
But he didn’t really flinch either.
He took the hit to the face, didn’t flinch, gives the reporter the side eye, raises his eyebrows a bit playfully but also a bit perturbed, and then makes a joke about it half laughing, half annoyed, and he ends literally with licking his chops.
What a boss!
