Trump's awkward call with the president of Mexico gets mashed with 'Veep' credits
Donald Trump has officially proven you do not need to understand speakerphone to become President of the United States.
In fact, on Monday Trump demonstrated this fact on live television ahead of his call with Mexico president, Enrique Peña Nieto.
In the moments leading up to the call, Trump struggled to figure out how the heck the phone works, which wound up being a painfully awkward sight worthy of the Veep closing credit treatment.
Here's the original moment, in which a perplexed Trump is seen pushing buttons on the telephone in the Oval Office and saying "Enrique" and "hello?" into the void. Finally he asks for some assistance, or rather demands, "be helpful," to a White House aide.

Some compared the moment to a scene from The Office, while others couldn't stop imagining how perfectly the clip would work alongside the ending credits of the political comedy, Veep.

For those wondering, the Trump clip wasn't solely made for the Veep credits ... the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme works wonderfully, too.

Ahhh. Another successful day of pretending we're all on a television show in the books.
