Trump Ejects Staffer from Oval Office Over Phone Noise

News summary

President Trump abruptly stopped his remarks during an executive order signing ceremony in the Oval Office to eject a White House staffer whose phone made noise, disrupting the event. The staffer, identified by multiple sources as White House staff secretary Will Scharf, was responsible for handling Trump's executive orders and was handing documents to the president at the time of the interruption. Trump asked, "Who is that back there? Alright, get out of the room," and the staffer was removed amid laughter from others present. This incident reflects Trump's known intolerance for distractions during public appearances, reminiscent of a 2019 episode when he ordered acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney out of the room for coughing. Additionally, Trump appeared with a bruised hand during the event, raising renewed questions about his health. The episode underscores the president's focus on maintaining control during official engagements.
