He looks like Will Ferrell in Elf sitting at that tiny desk
Donald Trump finally said on Thursday that he would leave the White House if the electoral college votes for Joe Biden. This was the closest the President has come to admitting defeat in the election – but it was something else about the press briefing caught people’s attention: the fact he was sitting behind an absolutely tiny desk.
Social media was quickly full of people wondering why the 74-year-old man was sat at a desk that looked like it was designed for a toddler.
Star Wars actor Mark Hamil led the mocking, saying “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.”

Others pointed out how the tiny desk made him look like a baby.

Or that he was like Will Ferrell in Elf. Well, it is nearly Christmas.

When asked at the press briefing whether he would leave the White House if the electoral college went against him, Trump replied: “Certainly I will. And you know that.”
“If they do, they’ve made a mistake,’ he added.
