Pic of Donald Trump sitting behind ‘tiny’ desk leaves people with thoughts
A few Twitter users also noticed an uncanny similarity between the picture and a scene from a skit on Saturday Night Live (SNL) back in 2017.
President Donald Trump’s Thanksgiving press conference created chatter among people. Among the many reasons was one involving a desk. During the conference, the president sat at a desk which was much smaller than his usual desk. As the pictures from the event surfaced on the Internet, people quickly took notice of the change and didn’t hold back while pointing it out.

It is not intended to be a desk you sit at alone,” they wrote. The post is complete with a few images.
