A video showing United States Secret Service officials cleaning and polishing the official vehicles used for former US President Donald Trump in Beijing has gone viral across social media platforms.
The clip, which was shared by RT on X, attracted widespread attention as security personnel appeared to carefully prepare the presidential motorcade ahead of Trump’s engagements in China. Social media users closely observed the maintenance of the heavily protected vehicles, commonly referred to as “The Beast,” which are known for their advanced security and defensive features.
The footage particularly sparked discussion online after viewers noticed officials using what appeared to be an ordinary spray product while polishing the vehicles. Several users expressed surprise over the use of a seemingly standard cleaning spray on one of the world’s most secure presidential cars.

Meanwhile, the viral clip generated mixed reactions across social media, with some users praising the attention to detail shown by security officials, while others focused on the unusual choice of cleaning equipment. The video continued to spread widely on X and other digital platforms as discussions surrounding Trump’s visit and presidential security arrangements intensified online.
