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 arrested. 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.

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.
