In a newly published interview with Jeopardy!'s Alex Trebek, Vulture's David Marchese asked the game show's long-time host how he thinks President Donald Trump would fare on the show. Naturally, Trebek wasn't afraid to give his honest opinion.

"He might not agree that any of the correct responses are correct," said Trebek, taking aim at the president's frequent dismissal of facts.

In the hours since the interview hit the internet on Monday morning, people have been zeroing in on Trebek's dig, among a handful of other notable lines from the piece.

Trebek also called Trump a bully in his interview, emphasized the importance of knowledge, and made some truly unfortunate comments about the #MeToo movement.

But overall we have to say that Trebek's assessment of Trump sounds pretty on-point to us.
