Did Donald Trump just start watching The Office?

Just before taking the platform to deliver his inauguration address, Donald Trump turned to the CNN camera and issued a Jim Halpert-esque "hello" to the people watching.

Unfortunately, the camera did not respond, as it is a camera.

We look forward to our new president greeting many more inanimate objects during his term.
