When waiting for something to happen on cue, it can be incredibly awkward if things don't go to plan and people are stood there waiting, waiting and waiting after either building up to it or pausing for that moment.
Well that's exactly what happened to Donald Trump during a July 4th ceremony at the White House when signing his 'big beautiful bill' into US law.
A Fox News broadcast captured the moment Trump stood with wife Melania while waiting for military flyovers to mark the occasion.
But it didn't quite go to plan as both Donald and Melania stood there expectedly - yet then start looking at each other awkwardly as if to say to each other "where are they?"
 ÂThis went on for more than a minute and the flyover still didn't happen before Fox News cut away from it, leaving the impression the flyover never happened. It did indeed happen, just not exactly when planned or expected by the Trumps.
Thank goodness it did or else they could still be waiting there now...
