WASHINGTON, DC: A resurfaced clip of President Donald Trump which shows him genuinely laughing has gone viral on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), as reported by LADBible.

The clip is from 'The Celebrity Apprentice', a spin-off of the NBC series 'The Apprentice' that was produced and hosted by the real estate tycoon.



 

Why does Donald Trump laugh in the viral clip from 'The Celebrity Apprentice'?

The now 78-year-old incumbent is seen in the video meeting 1978 Formula One champion Mario Andretti. The latter drives him around Manhattan in the passenger seat of a Formula One car, and Trump laughs out with glee at the end of the ride.

As Trump is settling into his role as POTUS for a second term in the White House, heartfelt moments such as the one captured in the video have become a rare occurrence. People are currently used to seeing Trump's amusement mixed with irritation, such as when he was accidentally hit in the face with a boom mic on Friday, March 14.

When Trump was answering a question on the ongoing conflict in Gaza at Joint Base Andrews, NPR journalist Danielle Kurtzleben accidentally smashed a fuzzy mic into his face as she was trying to maneuver the instrument attached to a long pole.



 

After giving her a side-eye, the president quipped, "She just made television tonight. She just became a big story tonight."

Trump was seen enjoying a heartfelt moment when he was accompanied by tech billionaire and DOGE lead Elon Musk's four-year-old son X Æ A-Xii earlier that day. The president and Lil X walked together to the Marine One chopper on the South Lawn of the White House before departing for Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida

One said, "Totes adorbes," and another wrote, "This is an affectionate moment!"

"He holds the weight of the world on his shoulders now. That will hinder one’s laugh," a person expressed, while someone else added, "This made my day!"

"He has a beautiful laugh," one more wrote, and another person said, "Watch his old (pre-politics) videos from SNL and the Tonight Show. You’ll see that not only does he laugh he has a great sense of humor." 

"President Trump is probably the best president we’ve ever had," an individual declared.
