So it's unclear if he just brainfarted or he was desperate to give the Democrats time to make sure the CR didn't have garbage in it. It's probably gaslighting, but this sign is the best piece of evidence to the statement he made and/or decided on:

https://twitter.com/MattBruenig/status/1708305191575900440

In a mass panic and him potentially being oddly lost, he might've thought "gently caress, I need to make this vote and can't make it around, I'll wait the 30 seconds"

The mistake excuse is silly. Any reasonably functioning adult that has been outside of a small town understands exactly what the sign means, and he pulled an alarm on the wall on top of that.

But who cares? In the grand scheme of things misdirecting some fire trucks and EMTs is trivial if it made any difference in a vote to keep the government open. Slap him with a misdemeanor ticket or something, and if he's savvy he would campaign on it proudly.

One missing piece of information I saw is that this is not usually an alarmed door, it is normally only alarmed when congress is not in session. This would’ve been the door he usually used to get to the capitol from his office building for votes.

I can't find the sourcing, but I read earlier that he's attending because he's convinced himself that his bad court rulings are because he's not showing up in person. So his lawyers know nothing and suck - it's the stupid scowl that's going to save his company and keep him out of prison, or something.

Edit: but broken clock

It's the civil trial in New York where he is accused of fraud or something because he told banks his properties were worth eleventy billion dollars when he wanted to borrow money against them and told the tax man they were only worth $4 when it came time to pay property taxes on them.
