This clip of lonely Donald Trump desperately filling while the grown-ups get on with the job is a genuine delight – 13 funniest and most on-point responses
Here’s a clip that will be entirely relatable to anyone who’s gone to a party only to realise you don’t recognise anyone and you desperately have to fill the time to do something – anything! – until a familiar face turns up.
Except the person here is Donald Trump and it’s not a party, it’s the Oval Office. And lonely Donny working out what the hell to do while the grown-ups around him get on with the job is surely the best thing we’re going to watch today.

And while it would be easy to read too much into 73 seconds, obviously, it still made us smile. These people too.

This will be the most awkward 1 minute and 13 seconds of your life.
I’m surprised Trump didn’t start a pretend phone call. pic.twitter.com/RoTWm3m9zi

Not being the centre of attention is palpably unsettling to him.

Something is off in the Oval Office right now.
Just awkward standing, whispering, aides hovering, and Trump wandering the room like he’s not part of the meeting. pic.twitter.com/HZ1HqrVLJz

This is what happens when the Oval Office becomes a daycare for a man who can’t sit still, let alone lead. Aides herding cats while the troops pin their own medals—peak Trumpian pathos.
