Washington, D.C. – U.S. President Donald Trump has been urgently taken to the hospital after being struck in the face by an object thrown by a supporter during a press briefing. The incident occurred earlier today as Trump was addressing the media outside the White House.

According to eyewitnesses, the object—believed to be a promotional hat—was hurled from the crowd gathered behind the security barriers. What was initially thought to be a harmless gesture of support quickly turned serious when the hat’s embedded metallic pin reportedly struck the President near his left eye.

Secret Service agents responded within seconds, swiftly shielding the President and escorting him to a secure vehicle. He was immediately transported to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for evaluation.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Matthews confirmed that the President was “conscious and in stable condition,” but doctors are conducting further tests as a precaution.

The identity of the individual who threw the object has not been released, but preliminary reports suggest the person may have been attempting to get the President’s attention rather than cause harm.

The briefing was abruptly ended, and all scheduled events for the remainder of the day have been postponed. The incident has sparked a wave of reactions across social media, with supporters expressing concern and critics questioning the level of crowd control during public appearances.

More details will be provided as they become available.
