What a mess

After spending Friday evening to Sunday afternoon at Mar-a-Lago, the president headed to Palm Beach International Airport for a flight back to Washington, D.C. But the journey had a strange hiccup.

As Trump rode in The Beast, the presidential limo, everyone noticed something odd: the trunk was wide open. Meanwhile, Trump sat in the back seat, seemingly unaware of the problem. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins flagged the moment on X, and the post blew up online.

This was not the only strange incident of the weekend. On Friday, Trump had struggled climbing into a car after a long press conference. Some photos even showed him dozing off for a brief moment before attempting to straighten himself out.

People on X did not let the trunk incident pass without comment. “Barron needed leg room?,” one user joked, clearly enjoying the irony.

Others went a bit further.
