WATCH: Did someone just throw a PHONE at Trump during his NRA speech?
Someone appears to have hurled a cell phone at US President Donald Trump as he walked on stage for a speech to the National Rifle Association. Trump won’t regret missing the call.
The person was reportedly escorted out. Though the throw missed by a country mile, many on social media jokingly said they hoped it would have hit its mark.

Somebody in the @NRA convention crowd threw a phone at President Trump today.The culprit wasn't able to fire a gun because the @NRA bans guns from its convention hall.I'm very glad the President's life was protected by banning guns.

Some believed the phone was not intended to hit the president.
I agree. If it was, they need to have their eyes examined.

Others recalled the Iraqi journalist who tossed a shoe at US President George W. Bush during a 2008 press conference in Baghdad. That throw, while far more accurate, was evaded by the then-president.
I was hoping for a W shoe duck. pic.twitter.com/LdhweoULjq

"As the President was walking onto the stage, but prior to his remarks, a cell phone from the crowd landed on the opposite side of the stage. An individual was removed from the event and the investigation is continuing," @SecretService tells @VOANews.
