JAKARTA - A humorous moment involving US President Donald Trump, suddenly went viral on social media. In the middle of a serious interview atmosphere on the presidential Air Force One plane, Trump experienced a small incident that invited laughter.

The incident began on Wednesday, December 10, when Trump stepped out of his private compartment towards the journalist area. While standing and preparing to answer questions from the media, the door of the nearby toilet suddenly opened wide and hit the right shoulder of the President.

Sadar dirinya menabrak orang nomor satu di AS, orang di dalam toilet tersebut segera menarik kembali pintu hingga tertutup rapat. Namun, alih-alih marah, Trump justru menunjukkan reaksi yang cair. Ia berbalik badan menghadap pintu toilet sambil tersenyum lebar.

"Hello? There's someone in there. Come out!" joked Trump, who was immediately greeted with laughter from journalists.

Although the situation melted down because of the humor, the person in the toilet seemed to choose to stay inside or "lock himself up" because of embarrassment. Trump did not prolong the incident.

He continued the question and answer session on the crucial issue of extending the Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidy. This topic had been delayed due to the recent prolonged government shutdown.

This joke moment was also witnessed by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. In the video that went viral, Leavitt was seen glancing at the slightly open toilet door before it closed again, then laughing hysterically with a security agent behind her.

The video of the "toilet door" incident quickly spread and went viral on various social media platforms. Public response was diverse, but the majority gave positive appreciation.

Many netizens praised the calm and sense of humor of the US President in handling unexpected awkward situations. Trump's relaxed attitude is considered to give a humanistic side behind his image as a firm leader of a superpower.
