Last night a number of people, including some television news cameras, caught what appeared to be bright red lights flashing inside the corner of the White House where Donald Trump’s residence is located. This coincided with his return from a controversial overseas trip, so the mystery red lights triggered a number of theories online, some humorous, some dire. But it turns out to have been something else entirely.

This was the footage of the the flashing red lights last night which set off a thousand and one theories about what might have been going on inside Donald Trump’s bedroom (link):

That led some Twitter users to facetiously ask if it was Jared Kushner’s backchannel with the Russians. On a more serious note, with Donald Trump having appeared confused and vacant during much of his overseas trip, someone pointed out that flashing red lights are used as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease (link). But now the Secret Service says it was none of the above.

The Secret Service has informed the New York Post (link) that someone fell ill across the street from the White House, and that the red lights in Donald Trump’s windows were actually a reflection of the lights of the ambulance that had arrived out front of the White House. We don’t believe the Secret Service would lie about such a thing, nor would they make up a story that could be refuted by the tourists who may have been out front at the time. So, among the mounting unexplained mysteries surrounding Trump’s presidency, at least the flashing red lights have been innocuously solved. Follow Palmer Report on Facebook and Twitter.
