Photo of Trump when he could not figure out how to work his desk speaker phone........ (Original Post) riversedge Aug 2018 OP
I know it's doctored, but that bottom photo is too funny! bearsfootball516 Aug 2018 #1
Good eye. I did not notice till you pointed it out. Thanks riversedge Aug 2018 #2
At first, I thought it was just the angle of the photo making his desk look really tiny. bearsfootball516 Aug 2018 #4

Agree, the oval office desk is just for photo-ops. riversedge Aug 2018 #7
My guess is that if he had kept his hands off the phone, it would have worked. LakeSuperiorView Aug 2018 #9

Then I realized there was no way the phone could be that small. Lol.

but I think that his incompetent staff does not know how to transfer a call into that office and tRump does not know how to take a call in that office is because he is never IN that office.He does not WORK at the Resolute desk like other presidents have. He does not WORk at all in a conventional way as we understand the presidency. He uses the resolute desk as a photo-op.

The scary part of this observation is, of course, if he is not running the country; who is?

Incompetent staff and an idiot boss who only uses the desk for a photo op.

But he had to feel important and push a button, disconnecting the phone from the call. I suspect that the guy who had to fix it for him is now suffering from 3rd degree burns after being dropped into a flame pit.
