What Is A Presidential TV Show? Twitter Users Mock Trump With Puns After Accusations Of The President Running White House Like TV

President Donald Trump is running the White House like a reality TV show, said a Republican governor Thursday.

“We’ve got to tell him that the TV show’s over and that he’s gotta move on now,” Maine Gov. Paul LePage said on a radio program, implying that the president missed his days hosting the reality show "The Apprentice."

“I think he does promote some competition. He brings that business aspect to it,” Le Page added. “In [Trump’s] case, too much competition. Everybody’s fighting to be that No. 1 person. You’re going to have a lot of slip-ups.”

The perception that Trump lives for the drama of television was fueled Thursday afternoon at a press conference, when he berated the press about reporting on leaks from the White House.

“I do get good ratings, you have to admit that,” Trump said, which only played into the White House TV narrative. He later added, “Tomorrow, the headlines are going to be, ‘Donald Trump rants and raves.’I'm not ranting and raving.”

If anything, Trump predicted that much correctly — one headline from a Canadian newspaper read: “‘I’m not ranting and raving,” Trump rants in wild presser.” The New York Post photoshopped Trump’s head onto a circus ringmaster and paired it with a headline that shouted: “WILDEST SHOW ON EARTH.”

Thursday night, the Comedy Central show “Midnight” picked up on the Trump-TV show comparisons and encouraged viewers to tweet their own presidential TV shows. Twitter users heeded the call, and played with puns to construct their own clever show ideas. Here are some of the funniest tweets.

Some poked fun at Trump’s administration, like with this tweet targeting Stephen Miller, a senior advisor at the White House:

Or this one, which included his family members:

Actually, the first family wasn't spared at all:

“Are you smarter than Betsy DeVos?” was a play on “Are you smarter than a fifth grader?” — a fitting sense of irony, considering DeVos was confirmed as education secretary last week:

In the end, conservatives didn't want to be left out of the fun. So they joined in, too:
