The White House is arguably one of the most iconic buildings in America, if not the entire world. Many events take place there, most of which involve highly political matters that can have far-reaching effects on global affairs. However, a recent, rather strange incident at the White House has captured the attention not just of Washington DC residents, but of countless internet users around the globe. The peculiar event involved someone throwing mysterious black bags out of a window. The unusual scene was recorded by an unknown resident staying in a tall building nearby, who happened to capture a portion of the White House grounds in the frame. The clip, which lasted about one and a half minutes, shows two bags tumbling to the ground from an upper-floor window of the White House. The cameraman appeared genuinely surprised, speculating that perhaps it was just a cleaning day at the White House, but clearly, the moment was anything but ordinary.
The video quickly went viral on social media, particularly on Reddit, where users began theorizing about what could be inside the mysterious bags dropped from the White House in Washington DC. “It’s the Epstein files!” one redditor declared. Others jokingly suggested that the bags contained adult diapers once used by Donald Trump, referencing the president’s recent absence from public appearances.
Some theories were fueled by photos showing Trump supporting a large bruise on his hand, leading many to suspect illness given his age. “Gotta get rid of the adult diapers. Best it’s done discreetly,” one commenter quipped. Another user, leaning into dark humor, speculated that perhaps the Secret Service was disposing of Trump’s body. “Melania has finally had it,” one Redditor joked, highlighting the wild, imaginative energy surrounding this White House incident.
Beyond the humor, many were simply astonished that such an event could occur at all. “Appreciating all of the comments and speculation, but I’m just shocked the windows actually open?? For security reasons, I would have assumed they wouldn’t, and that they’d been replaced with very thick glass,” one user wrote. Others pointed out that, in fact, modern security around the White House and other sensitive locations has evolved significantly in recent decades.
“People either forget or aren’t old enough to realize that crazy security levels are kind of a new thing across the board. Whether it’s the White House, airports, gas stations, schools, whatever, it’s all become far more prevalent over the last few decades,” another user commented.
