Donald Trump is already a famous president for doing unconventional things during his time in the white house, and recently, he took things to the next level.

Earlier this week, the president made headlines after photographers and reporters caught him taking a walk on the roof of the White House, something no other leader has been seen doing before. To make matters even more odd and interesting, there was not much of an explanation as to why he was up there. It’s another series of unusual and buzzworthy events under his administration, and his actions have some people wondering what is going on with him behind the scenes.

Donald Trump Is Filmed Taking A Walk On The White House Roof

On Tuesday, August 5th, reporters and members of the press standing outside the White House were shocked and alarmed when, all of a sudden, the commander in chief was seen taking a stroll atop the famous residence's roof. It was around 11 AM, and he was seen standing above the White House briefing room with a member of his Secret Service following close behind him.

 

From time to time, presidents can be seen taking walks along the White House grounds, but for one to randomly appear on the roof, which isn't necessarily built as a place to stroll or lounge, was highly unusual. Immediately, reporters began questioning the president, shouting out to him, hoping he would give them some kind of explanation.

 

"Mr. President, what are you doing up there?" reporters can be heard asking in viral footage of the roof incident.

 

One of Trump's first responses was simply, "Just taking a little walk."

 

Eventually, the president began describing a kind of construction project he was working on, calling it "something beautiful" and emphasizing that he was financing it.

 

This may not come as a surprise, as during his second term, the president has already begun making changes to the infamous historical property, including replacing Jackie Kennedy's rose garden with a patio filled with dining tables and umbrellas.

The Internet Reacts To Donald's Walk On The Roof On Social Media

Once photos and footage of the 79-year-old strutting around the White House roof went viral, numerous Americans and internet users began weighing in on the situation, with several people expressing concern over his health and mental state. After all, it was quite an unusual incident, and it made some people wonder if he's truly fit to lead.

 

"Has this ever been done?" asked an X user.

 

"What's wrong with him?" wrote another.

 

Several internet users accused the president of having dementia, writing comments like, "They've come up with a new way to hide his dementia."

 

"No one can hear him from up there," they continued.

 

"Only Trump would do that," added another.

 

Other internet users were disappointed to hear that the leader was working on more changes to the White House, given his latest actions have been highly controversial, and they believe he could be using the time and energy for more important things.

 

"He does not own the White House," wrote an Instagram user. "It's not his to just do what he wants with."

 

We're awaiting more updates on why the president decided to go about touring around the White House roof the way he did, but regardless, it was still another unexpected incident that occurred during his second term.
