And after footage subsequently went viral, many viewers have come to an agreement over one aspect of the 40-year-old’s ‘oops’ moment.

For those out of the loop, 78-year-old Trump made his debut presidential speech before an audience of lawmakers yesterday (4 Mar) following a four-year break from the White House.

Ahead of his official address – which would see Trump laying out his key objectives for his upcoming term – however, his Republican VP, JD Vance, was seen having a catch-up with house speaker Mike Johnson.

Waiting at the podium for the father-of-five’s arrival, the duo jointly began poking fun at Trump’s notoriously-lengthy speech-making skills, seemingly not realising that they’d mic’d up.

“By the way, I think the speech is going to be great,” the recording hears Vance say of Trump.

“But I don’t know how you do this for 90 minutes.”

Johnson then replies: “The hardest thing was doing it during Biden.”

The speaker then pushes the microphone down – seemingly only just realising it may have been activated – before adding of Trump’s Democratic predecessor: “When his speech was a stupid campaign speech.”

Even more shocking, is that Vance went on to tell Johnson: “Man, I’ve got to be honest…”

Sadly, however, the VP then leaned in to the speaker’s ear, obscuring the tea he was inevitably about to spill.
