While meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese Monday at the White House, President Donald Trump chided a reporter for apparently bumping into a mirror with a camera.
“You gotta watch that! You're not allowed to break that, that mirror is 400 years old!” Trump said as the White House reporters crammed into the room ahead of the president’s meeting with Albanese.
“The camera just hit the mirror... Ay ay ay! I just moved it up here from the vaults and the first thing that happens, a camera hits it. Hard to believe, isn't it? But these are the problems in life.”
It’s unknown what mirror the reporter had bumped into, though it could possibly be a gilded English pier mirror made in the late 18th century and donated to the White House in 1946, which the White House Historical Association made reference to in a past social media post.
Trump’s meeting with Albanese was arranged, in part, to “talk about trade” and “submarines,” Trump said, along with a rare earths minerals deal between the two nations as the Trump administration seeks an off ramp to its dependence on China."You're not allowed to break that, that mirror's 400 years old!"@realDonaldTrump after reporter apparently bumps White House mirror with camera pic.twitter.com/paEjEkIeAL
