Trump stops DEAD IN HIS TRACKS and starts waving at NOBODY in a bizarre White House video – leaving the internet wondering what on earth he's doing!
Donald Trump was on his way to Marine One on Monday when he suddenly stopped in the middle of the White House helicopter pad and appeared to forget that he was supposed to be going somewhere.
The president just stood there for several awkward seconds, frozen in place. Then he raised his hand and began waving enthusiastically at ... well, that's the mystery.
Because when the camera pulled back to show the wider scene, there was nobody anywhere near him to receive his presidential gesticulations.
Was he waving at an invisible crowd? Had he spotted a particularly patriotic squirrel? Or was he simply waiting for the grass to applaud?
Maybe a voice in his head had just told him he was the greatest president in American history, and he wanted to acknowledge the compliment.
The strange footage quickly spread across social media, with viewers trying to figure out who Trump was greeting and why he'd stopped in the first place.
Even if somebody was standing outside the camera's view (there wasn’t), that doesn't explain the bizarre spectacle of Grampa stopping in his tracks, standing motionless for several seconds, and then waving toward an empty stretch of lawn.
And there's a delicious irony in watching the man who spent years mocking Joe Biden for supposedly looking lost or confused produce a video that practically BEGS for the same treatment.
Trump has repeatedly assured Americans that he's in magnificent physical and mental condition. Perhaps he could put his amazing powers of observation to work and tell us who exactly was on the receiving end of that wave.
Until then, congratulations to the White House lawn on its promotion to the presidential receiving line.
