Time stopped at Gracie Mansion on Monday.
We all know Mayor Eric Adams isn’t above hopping onto the latest Instagram trend, as he proved once again this week by posting his “morning routine” for his 126,000 followers.
The already-ebbing trend involves filming yourself while preparing for the day ahead.
The footage is then spliced together and edited, and corresponding timestamps added.
In Adams’ post, we get to see Hizzoner shaving, ironing his dress shirt, and making a smoothie for himself.
He also filmed himself eating fresh fruit for breakfast, and leaving Gracie Mansion for the Chevrolet Suburban High Country that ferries him around the city.
But a standard black-and-white wall clock visible in part of Adams’ video appears to show the mayor started his day two hours later than claimed.
As the Mayor is seen preparing his smoothie, for instance, the clock in his expansive kitchen reads 11 a.m., while timestamps on the clip claim the footage was filmed at 9 a.m.
A City Hall spokesperson accounted for the apparent time discrepancy, claiming the wall clock’s batteries had died shortly before Hizzoner chose to film his daily routine
Adams “starts his day very early,” and the footage “caught [the clock] at a weird time,” a spokesperson told The Post.
Many Instagram users also spotted the clock disparity, and had to comment.
“Your clocks all say it’s around 12 p.m.,” reflected another of Hizzoner’s followers. “Did you mean to say this is your morning routine Turkish time?”
The post Eric Adams hops onto Instagram wagon, posts video with contradictory clocks appeared first on New York Post.
