Trump’s Rare Laugh Resurfaces—and People Are Stunned

A resurfaced video clip is making waves on social media—because it shows something many have never seen before: Donald Trump genuinely laughing.

The Apprentice Moment That Sparked It All

Long before he became the 45th and 47th President of the United States, Trump was the face of The Apprentice and The Celebrity Apprentice. One unforgettable scene from the Season 5 finale of The Celebrity Apprentice has now gone viral.

In the clip, Trump climbs into the back seat of a race car driven by Formula 1 legend Mario Andretti. As Andretti speeds through the streets of New York, he jokes, “Don’t worry, I won’t mess up your hair.” Trump responds with a genuine chuckle—a rare moment caught on camera.

Social Media Reacts: “That Was a Real Laugh”

Although the episode aired back in 2012, many people are only discovering it now. A user on X (formerly Twitter) reposted the clip in March, writing:
“Good news, I’ve found a Celebrity Apprentice clip that has haunted me for 13 years.”

The reactions poured in:

• “The acting was bad but the laugh at the end was real.”

• “He actually chuckled and gave a genuine smile. I’ve never seen that from him.”

• “Never seen him laugh like that.”

• One viewer even noted: “This is actually a big deal. A human laugh. This is wild.”

Meanwhile: A Public Spat With Elon Musk

In other Trump news, the former president is in a very public feud with Elon Musk. The clash began when Musk slammed Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” calling it a “disgusting abomination” full of unnecessary spending.

Trump fired back, saying he was “very disappointed in [Musk]”. Musk escalated the drama by claiming Trump is named in the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Tesla Takes a Hit

The fallout was immediate. Tesla investors started pulling back, and by Thursday’s market close, Musk’s net worth had dropped by a staggering $34 billion. That 14% loss marked the second-largest single-day financial drop in Bloomberg Billionaires Index history.
