PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA: Donald Trump’s return to Washington on Sunday, November 9, drew attention due to his unusual arrival at Palm Beach International Airport. He spent the weekend in Florida, hosting yet another extravagant party at Mar-a-Lago.

While the lavish party initially drew attention, the focus quickly shifted to his car. Social media erupted after noticing that the trunk of Trump’s vehicle, The Beast, was left open. Images and videos from the event also quickly went viral.

Trump spotted sitting in ‘Beast’ with trunk left open during airport arrival

The trunk of Trump’s car was left open while the president appeared unaware, sitting in the back seat. CNN’s Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins highlighted the unusual detail on X (formerly known as Twitter).

She wrote, "The trunk of the the Beast was open as President Trump headed for the Palm Beach International Airport earlier". The post quickly racked up massive likes and reactions.

This comes after another awkward airport moment, when the president was spotted slumping into a waiting car shortly after dozing off during a White House press conference. Both incidents added to the unusual and widely noticed nature of his arrivals.

For those who missed it, Trump was seen hosting a second lavish party at the resort. Several images from the event were shared online. This gathering came after his well-known “Great Gatsby”–themed party, which he held during Halloween.

Social media erupts over Trump’s open trunk incident

The trunk mishap quickly became the talk of social media. "I heard Trump grabbed the trunk release while reaching for the steering wheel," said one user.



Another user shared, "My 1992 Honda Accord has a "Trunk Ajar" warning light. How does the presidential limo NOT have it? lolololol."



"The president was pumping out some tunes from his new speakers in his trunk. What's the problem?" commented another user.



"He only hires and uses the best! And im sure it can be hard to remember to close the trunk of the presidents vehicle even though this would seem like a security risk to let happen," someone else shared



"Oh damn I HATE when that happens! Then I have to pull over get outta the car, and go shut the trunk.." laughed another user.



Another person commented, "The Beast has the new Bugatti Veyron rear wing, when breaking it deploys the trunk as an airbrake."



"To let it air out?" commented someone else.
