Most Guests Ducked for Cover. This Man Munched on His Burrata Salad.

This article about a random agent at the White House thing who kept on eating his salad amidst the hullabaloo is quite funny www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u...

“First of all, I have a bad back. I couldn’t get on the floor, and if I did get on the floor, they’d have to bring in people to get me off the floor. And No. 2, I’m a hygiene freak. There was no freaking way I was getting in my new tux on the dirty Hilton floor.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u...

"I wasn’t scared. There are hundreds of Secret Service agents hurtling themselves over tables and chairs, and I wanted to watch." Why not get down? “First of all, I have a bad back ... And No. 2, I’m a hygiene freak. There was no freaking way I was getting in my new tux on the dirty Hilton floor.”

昨日トランプを狙ったと思われる食事会で発砲音が聞かれると会場は混沌の渦に巻き込まれ、誰もがテーブルの下に潜って息を潜めた。 一人の男を除いて。 アメリカの大手芸能事務所クリエーティブ・アーティスツ・エージェンシーのトップエージェントの一人マイケル・グランツ氏は身を潜めることなく皿のブッラータ・サラダを食べ続けた。 1/2 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u...

Most Guests Ducked for Cover. This Man Munched on His Burrata Salad. Michael Glantz, a top agent at CAA, calmly ate his salad during the commotion at the WHCD. He had his reasons. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u... if only he was lit agent, I’d aspire to be his client—but 🤩 I must befriend this man.

The man gave us the meme for our times.

would deffo get several beers with this ridiculous man. but also any statement that begins, unprompted, with “I’m a New Yorker” is guaranteed to be simultaneously annoying and boring www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u...

This guy gets it www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u...

I’d be willing to bet this is getting as many clicks on NYT as the latest update on the suspect. It’s light, dare I say fun, and a prime example of adding to the conversation even when you aren’t adding to the story. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u...

This is who I want to be when I grow up. He's a New Yorker who wanted to watch the action while being grossed out by the carpetting! Totally inspired 😀 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u...

www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u... Hey it’s Trump-a few months out from the midterms and WAY done in the polls. When your polls are showing only a 33% approval rating it time for another assassination attempt to rally the troops. If it’s real I’m not in the way. If it’s a shame I’m STILL not in the way

Most ducked for cover. He munched on his burrata salad. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u...
