Politics - News Analysis Watch Low-IQ Trump Fail to Understand the Meaning of the Oval Office, ‘There’s Certainly No Corners!’

Today’s a bit of a slow news day since it’s a holiday and Donald Trump is holed up at his golf club in Palm Beach, Florida.

But Trump is still trending all over Twitter, and one of the reasons is because he’s an idiot.

Twitter uncovered this old interview from May 2017, right after Trump spent 100 days in office.

And during this interview, Trump humiliated himself by failing to understand the importance of the Oval Office.

“Face The Nation” host John Dickerson tried to get Trump to muse on former George W. Bush’s comment on how the Oval Office was round and therefore had no corners to hide in – meaning accountability always sat firmly at the President’s lap.

However, Trump failed to spot the metaphor and took it just a bit too literally.

He said: “Well, there’s truth to that. There is truth to that. There are certainly no corners. And you look, there’s a certain openness. But there’s nobody out there. You know, there is an openness, but I’ve never seen anybody out there actually, as you could imagine.”

The reporter “What does the oval mean to you?” Abbot & Costello routine except no one to Costello. “There’s certainly no corners! You look, there’s certain openness and there’s nobody out there, there’s an openness but I’ve never seen anybody out there”. pic.twitter.com/Cjk2G00GSa — YS (@NYinLA2121) January 1, 2020

Twitter had a field day:

This is clearly a person with a low IQ. He is incapable of comprehending this simple abstract concept. Zero analytical skills. If he had to paint the floor he would end up in the corner furthest from the door — Jim948 (@Jim9482) January 1, 2020

Never ceases to amaze me how obvious his dementia is. — (((The Rise Of Sen. G🍊oldman))) (@NotAbouThatBase) January 1, 2020

This is called concrete thinking. Concrete thinking is when a person thinks in literal terms. They cannot understand slang or metaphors, as seen in this clip. For someone of Trump's age, concrete thinking is a red flag for something bigger going on mentally. — Stephanie Raymo (@Stephanie_Raymo) January 1, 2020

His dementia is getting worse by the day. If VP Pence had any balls he would be calling for the 25th Amendment! — Trenaway's Dump Trump shop (@Trenaway11) January 1, 2020

Lol, he has no concept of the question being asked. That would take a concept of leadership and history. If the question doesn’t relate to money he’s clueless. 🤪 — Jim Voss (@vossect) January 1, 2020
