The Lights In the White House Went Out Right As Donald Trump Was Walking Back His Helsinki Comments, and the Internet Can't Believe Its Luck

You can't make this stuff up.

Tuesday, President Donald Trump attempted to walk back his disparaging remarks—both on Twitter Sunday and in Helsinki Monday—about the United States in general and U.S. intelligence agencies in particular.

But after stating he had "a full faith in our intelligence agencies," the lights at the White House dimmed and then went out.


Some online claim it is karmic retribution.

While others are claiming divine intervention.

Trump began by stating to the assembled reporters,

Let me begin by saying that once again, full faith and support for America’s intelligence agencies. I have a full faith in our intelligence agencies."

"Whoops, they just turned off the light. That must be the intelligence agencies," the President mocked.

While the cause is likely far more earthbound and electrical, Trump is by no means alone in making light of the timing of the mini-blackout.

Some of the jokes are a bit more pointed than others, however.

Some pointed out the President's body language.

But that timing...

Others could not get over how perfectly timed that was.

Some people see a potential conspiracy...

But most people just thought it was a funny coincidence begging to be made fun of.

Whether it was the result of a storm, as some claim, or someone forgot to pay the electric bill, either way the day the lights went out in Washington DC was memorable.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
