On social media, a resurfaced clip from The Celebrity Apprentice revealed an unexpected side of the former president.

Trump expressed relief upon seeing Andretti. ‘I’m really glad it’s you,’ he said. ‘Let’s go.’
Andretti reassured him, joking, ‘Hop in, Mr. Trump. Don’t worry, I won’t mess up your hair.’

The car came to a screeching halt in front of the National History Museum.
While, the camera zoomed in on Trump’s face, capturing his wide grin and tousled hair.
Stepping out of the car, Trump turned to Andretti and said, ‘Thanks, Mario.’ Then, unexpectedly, he let out a hearty laugh, exclaiming, ‘Wow. Holy s**t.’
