The POTUS was supposedly there to discuss his famous Big Beautiful Bill, among other things, so naturally decided to talk extensively about a recent cognitive test he aced instead.<\/p>\n<div id=\"newsner-47d63bbf418147cb658122874b0d97e3\" class=\"newsner-47d63bbf418147cb658122874b0d97e3 newsner-incide_content_once\"><\/div>\n<p>That led him to consider certain Democratic leaders who, in his opinion, would not have performed as well on the question test.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t need to get too much into the tit-for-tat nature of Trump\u2019s behavior where his perceived political rivals are concerned, but needless to say, his comments raised a few eyebrows.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/05\/04115200\/Screenshot-2026-05-04-at-13.50.56.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps not as many as when he then left the stage and appeared to flash a hand signal at Secret Service agents standing close by.<\/p>\n<p>The flick of the hand was reportedly responded to by a staffer, who made another hand signal through the curtains to someone else. At the end of an online video showing the event, a hand can be seen reaching out of the curtain, seemingly to grab the other agent.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all very peculiar to watch, and even more intriguing than usual, given that Trump was the alleged target of another assassination attempt less\u00a0than ten days ago. On that occasion, a lone gunman tried to force his way into the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner, but was subdued before he could take a shot at Trump or any members of his administration.<\/p>\n<p>At the Florida event, an account on X drew attention to Trump\u2019s apparent hand signal and the hand that then came through the curtain.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=newsner&amp;dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=2050422590053953800&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fen.newsner.com%2Fnews%2Fhand-signal-spotted-between-donald-trump-and-secret-service%2F&amp;sessionId=5c645e11727302333560a3027b7c09e6777eab27&amp;siteScreenName=newsner&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"2050422590053953800\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\u201cDid anyone else catch that signal?\u201d wrote X user Matt Wallace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat hand coming out of nowhere is so creepy,\u201d wrote one person in reply.<\/p>\n<p>Another said, \u201cYou can never know with these people, many secrets with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others on social media were less conspiratorial, insisting that the hand signals indicated the President moving between areas.<\/p>\n<p>One comment read: \u201cJust a Secret Service agent or stagehand holding the curtain and signaling \u2018clear\u2019 as Trump walks by.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese events have layers of security backstage\u2014nothing mysterious, just pros doing their job.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s very little President Donald Trump does that isn\u2019t picked apart and examined by the masses.
