'I do not feel comforted': The internet freaks out over Trump's hot-mic moment after c-virus speech

President Donald Trump’s Oval Office speech on the coronavirus, during which he banned all incoming travel from the European Union, stunned Americans, investors, and many around the world.

But it’s what happened after his speech concluded that has some stunned as well.

Immediately after Trump finished speaking, a technician says, “We’re clear.”

But the cameras were still running.

What happens next is disappointing.

Thinking the cameras were off, Trump unbuttons his jacket, breathes a sigh of relief, and says, “OK.”

The “OK” lasts several seconds, and led many to believe it was all an act.

This is how unserious Trump was about the coronavirus after his speech when he thought all cameras were off. He proved that he is bored with it all and clueless.

That will make everyone feel better, but this one is the exact opposite of that.

Everyone has their own opinion .. but I just don't see this as any order of significance at all. On an evolutionary scale Trump is hovering around slime mold. And virtually everyone knows it. (baby cages, mocking the crippled, etc., etc.) But this episode ..?
