A video posted on TikTok showed an unusual traffic jam on the Palmetto Expressway at NW 25 Street in Miami, where dozens of vehicles were completely stopped, and several drivers even got out of their cars to see what was happening.

The images, recorded by a young user of the social network, show long lines of stalled cars while some people walk between the lanes or peek out from the roofs of their vehicles to try to see what was happening up ahead.

“Look at how Palmetto and 25 are… tell me something, I’m dying, I’m dying. Who could it be? Daddy Trump coming out of his chambers and doesn’t want to let the commoners through?” the woman comments while laughing as she records the video.

The recording also shows a helicopter flying over the area, which heightened speculation among the drivers about the possible presence of an important figure or some kind of security operation.

"Surely it's Daddy Trump coming through or something... look over there," the young woman adds while pointing to several people who have exited their vehicles to look up at the sky or towards the area where the congestion seems to be originating.

The video generated reactions on social media, where users commented on the scene with humor and curiosity regarding the unusual behavior of the drivers, many of whom seemed more interested in figuring out the cause of the traffic jam than in staying inside their cars.

As of now, the exact cause of the traffic stoppage at that point on the highway has not been officially confirmed.
