11 Times Donald Trump’s First Year As President Was Basically ‘The Office’
1. ‘He’s thrown a kettle over a pub. What have you ever done?’
Donald Trump’s then communications director Anthony Scaramucci says he’s been witness to his boss’s impressive feats, much like Gareth Keenan’s boast about Chris Finch’s unique skills on quiz night.
2. ‘One of the cleverest blokes I know’
Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest -and you all know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure,it’s not your fault
Trump has ‘one of the highest’ IQs, and so does ‘bloody good rep’ Chris Finch.
Brent points to the toy monkey that appeared in adverts with comedian Jonny Vegas for the long forgotten ITV Digital channel. Trump points to the bust of Winston Churchill that has returned to the White House Oval Office. Hat-tip @PoliticalBrent.
5. ‘I’ve been promoted, so … every cloud.’
Just minutes after telling the Slough office some of them will be sacked, David Brent said: “On a more positive note, the good news is, I’ve been promoted, so… every cloud.”
Just hours after sacking Scaramucci, President Trump tweeted:
Trump had a very long handshake with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe. and Abe’s glance to the camera at the end was pure Tim Canterbury.

Trump and Obama met at the inauguration in much the same way as Brent returning to Wernham Hogg with Gareth in charge.
8. ‘Put, “David Brent is refreshingly laid back for a man with such responsibility”.’
“Steve is now unchained,” source close to Bannon tells me. “Fully unchained.”
A source who definitely wasn’t departing White House adviser Steve Bannon speaks in fluent Brent-ese.
Trump’s daughter Ivanka wanted Trump to apologise. Brent’s boss Jennifer wanted Brent to apologise. Both sort of did.
Trump solicited the opinion of of 40,000 Boy Scouts at their annual Jamboree. Trump v Obama is effectively Brent v Neil from the Swindon office.
Trump convened his first full Cabinet meeting after taking office and asked his new appointees to lavish praise on him, which presumably is precisely what Brent did too.
