Former President Donald Trump sparked debate after a man collapsed beside him during a White House event on November 6. The medical emergency occurred as Trump announced a new weight-loss drug deal. While those nearby rushed to help, Trump stood up and looked on silently, which many online users criticized as detached or lacking empathy. Officials later confirmed the man fainted but recovered with medical assistance.

The guest was identified as “Gordon,” a representative from Eli Lilly. CEO David Ricks, who was speaking when the incident happened, explained that standing for a long time in the warm Oval Office likely caused the fainting. Trump later told reporters the man “got a little bit light-headed” and assured everyone he was fine and under medical care. Despite the reassurance, social media reactions focused heavily on Trump’s expressionless response.

In a separate viral moment, Trump’s 18-year-old granddaughter Kai drew attention after posting a vlog from the Oval Office. In the video, she casually scrolled TikTok on a sofa while waiting for Trump to finish meetings, calling the situation “kinda cool.” Viewers had mixed reactions, with some amused and others criticizing the casual use of the historic room, calling it inappropriate or unserious.

Kai has faced public scrutiny before, including comments about nepotism and her part-time job at Dunkin’ Donuts, which some praised as grounded while others dismissed as performative. Her recent vlog added to ongoing conversations about the Trump family’s social media presence and the line between personal content and presidential spaces.
