People are finding this 'Wheel of Fortune' clip hard to watch.
A contestant who was ahead in the game guessed that the phrase on the board was, ironically, 'I'm declaring victory'. But because it was actually just 'declaring victory' (without the 'I'm'), his answer was deemed to be wrong and the opposing team won the money he momentarily believed to be his.
another classic wheel of fortune L “I’m declaring victory” lmao https://t.co/lazHrNcNWN— Anthony (@Anthony) 1605574213
The contestant, Alex, later admitted he hadn't even realised he'd said "I'm".
His "stunned" reaction was hilariously awkward.
"I'm declaring victory!" - Wheel of Fortune. That was the funniest thing I've seen in awhile. #WheelOfFortune— トリシャー‧ライサー(タウンセン) (@トリシャー‧ライサー(タウンセン)) 1605574489
Guy on wheel of fortune tried to solve the puzzle...he said "I'm declaring victory" it was "declaring victory"...the next player solved it and won all the money. He was stunned.
Guys, I think Wheel of Fortune trolled Trump so hard with their Declaring Victory puzzle tonight and I love it.— Alison (@Alison) 1605576148
Someone needs to turn the “I’m declaring victory” guy on Wheel of Fortune into a meme about Trump— Andrew Tarwerdi (@Andrew Tarwerdi) 1605572654
But things ended on a happier note for Alex than they did for Trump.
Although he fluffed this puzzle, he came out on top at the end of the show.
