A bizarre video from an event at the White House has surfaced on the internet, which is now going viral on social media, showing a crane operator appearing to nap inside his machine, all while US President Donald Trump posed unveiling two new, towering flagpoles on the North and South Lawns on Wednesday, June 18.
The moment, which was supposed to display a patriotic symbolism, took a humorous turn when social media users spotted the crane operator leaning back with his eyes closed, apparently asleep, as the former president spoke nearby.
The hilarious moment captured on camera is now doing the rounds on the internet, and netizens can't stop talking about it.
The crane operator was probably unaware of the situation behind him, while Trump continues to chat with the workers and admires the structures.
According to a report by the Irish Star, Trump said, "It¡¯s such a beautiful pole." He also added that these are the best poles anywhere in the country or in the world.
As soon as the video surfaced on the internet, it quickly went viral and grabbed the eyeballs of the netizens, who seem to have no chill on the social media platform.
An X (formerly called Twitter) user wrote, "If indifference had a face, it would surely belong to the crane operator who was sound asleep as US President Trump met with his fellow workers ?"
"Trump took the time to take pictures with the construction workers helping put up flagpoles around the White House. Well, everyone except the dude passed TF out in the crane ?," another added.
"While Trump is taking pictures.. is my man driving the crane dead?!? ?"
"Trump: ¡°This is a historic moment.¡± Crane guy: ¡°Cool. Wake me up when it¡¯s over," one added.
"Looks like Trump hires only the best crane operators ?" "A man controls a crane that is in operation and monitors work at height. This is why trump is our president."
"If you¡¯ve ever seen a crane suffer catastrophic hydraulic failure then you¡¯ll understand why Trump didn¡¯t attempt to pick up the papers."
