Both Mayor Tiffany Henyard and former President Donald Trump have experienced notable incidents involving microphones:

During a town hall meeting on January 28, 2025, in Dolton, Illinois, Mayor Henyard was involved in a physical altercation. After activist Jedidiah Brown criticized her during public comments, Henyard allegedly assaulted him with a microphone. Her boyfriend, Kamal Woods, also reportedly attacked Brown and another activist, Lavelle Redmond. This led to a lawsuit against Henyard and Woods for alleged assault and violation of First Amendment rights. Woods was subsequently fired following the incident.

On March 14, 2025, at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, Trump was accidentally struck in the face by a boom microphone during a press briefing. A reporter's microphone hit his mouth and slid across his face. Trump reacted by joking that the reporter "just became a big story." He continued answering questions before boarding Air Force One.
In October 2016, during the presidential debates, Trump complained about a "defective" microphone, suggesting it might have been intentional. He mentioned that the microphone's issues affected his performance during the debate.
At a Milwaukee rally in November 2024, Trump faced microphone problems that led him to hold the mic in his hand. Frustrated, he joked about confronting the backstage crew, stating, "Do you want to see me knock the hell out of people backstage?"
These incidents highlight how microphones have played unexpected roles in both Henyard's and Trump's public appearances, leading to physical mishaps and technical frustrations.
