US President Donald Trump met the press in the White House on Friday night Norwegian time.
After a video conference with members of the US military in connection with the Thanksgiving celebration, the president would for the first time since the election answer questions from journalists.
– It will be very difficult to acknowledge election defeat, because we know there was extensive election fraud. I do not know what will happen. “I know one thing, and that is that Joe Biden did not get 80 million votes,” Trump said.
There is no evidence for the president’s allegations of electoral fraud.

Promised to leave the White House
During the press conference, Trump was asked if he would leave the White House on January 20 if voters voted in favor of Joe Biden.
“Of course I want it, and you know I want it,” replied the president.
Given Trump’s opposition to the election result, it attracted attention that he promised to leave the White House in the event of a loss.
On Twitter, however, it was not the president to which became the big topic. There was instead a certain piece of furniture that stole the attention.
Make fun
On Twitter, the jokes hailed that Trump apparently sat at a fairly small desk.
Some joked that there must be someone on the White House staff who had played a trick on the president.

Just want to give an extra Thanksgiving shout-out to the person in Trump’s camp who walked out to look at that desk prior to today’s presser and went, “Yeah, looks good. Bring him in.” #hero pic.twitter.com/wR4TnBmZOg

Star Wars star Mark Hamill was among those who had fun at Trump’s expense. He has marked his Twitter message with the hashtag #DiaperDon, like many others who make fun of the photos.
Maybe if you behave yourself, stop lying to undermine a fair election & start thinking of what’s good for the country instead of whining about how unfairly you are treated, you’ll be invited to sit at the big boy’s table. #DiaperDon pic.twitter.com/nnNOoOI1gl

2020 has wrecked me so badly I genuinely thought somebody had photoshopped Donald Trump behind a tiny desk with the presidential seal tacked on the front. pic.twitter.com/pfZwpH087O

Twitter user “Trending in The United States” may have found the answer to why the desk is so small.
Here’s the thing about the small desk Trump is sitting at. It’s like… a bill-signing desk. It’s meant to have a dozen or so people around it. I think it might be small so that more people can cram in for a photo op.
It is not intended to be a desk you sit at alone. pic.twitter.com/LOc0M1bImE
