Resurfaced Clip Reveal’s Donald Trump’s Real Laugh
The clip in question was posted on X by Toronto-based writer Will Sloan, who captioned the video, “Good news, I’ve found a Celebrity Apprentice clip that has haunted me for 13 years.”
The clip was from an episode dated as 2012 and shows Trump getting chauffeured around by Mario Andretti, a former racecar driver. Andretti jokes that he promises not to mess up Trump’s hair before he accelerates, and Trump lets out an unexpected laugh as they weave through traffic.
