The “surprise” occasion was (shockingly) captured on camera and widely disseminated; the White House posted the “raw video” here. Most of the commoners were thrilled to encounter the president walking amongst them. One woman was “so excited,” and remarked that it was “like the best day of my life.” One bro fist pumped while yelling: “America! Freedom! Peace! Hope! And charity! [sic]” But not everyone was so impressed. At the 2:41 mark, you can see some disgruntled workers who are...
