Trump threw tablet when he couldn't get on a call with Trudeau [View all]

President Donald Trump hurled a tablet across the Oval Office when technical difficulties prevented him from talking on a group call with Canada’s then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, according to a report.

The incident allegedly took place during French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to the White House in February 2025, about two weeks into Trump’s second term. The two leaders were using the electronic device to join a call led by Trudeau when they were met with tech issues.

Trump became annoyed by the issue, which was preventing him from speaking on the call, and threw the device over the Resolute Desk and onto the floor, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing an official who was present during the meeting.

The president’s alleged temper tantrum was documented in an exposé published by the Journal on Sunday, which revealed the lengths European leaders have gone to keep Trump at bay since he returned to the White House last year.
