TFG's Oval Office was nicknamed 'the Star Wars bar' so many bizarre characters would hang there

White House staffers got so used to seeing a vast retinue of unlikely figures in President Donald Trump's Oval Office that they nicknamed it the 'Star Wars bar,' according to Michael Wolff, author of a new exposé on the Trump administration.

In an interview with The Times of London published Wednesday, Wolff discussed his new book, "Landslide," which the newspaper has been publishing excerpts of.

In the interview, Wolff claims that he travelled to meet Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort despite the unflattering portrayal of the former president in his two previous books on his time as president.

There, he observed that Trump conducted business in the front lobby, surrounded by supporters and favor-seekers.

I'm sure lounge lizards were a big part of his constituency.

Which Obi-Wan Kenobi described as, "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."

Fitting.
