During a recent press briefing, President Donald Trump had many people scratching their heads. The POTUS repeatedly said he thought Black reporter Mario Parker looked like businessman and politician Michael Bloomberg.

Parker, a muscular-looking Black man, bears absolutely no resemblance to billionaire former Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, who's famously short (5'8") and also happens to be White.


Many people online have theories as to what, if anything, Trump was trying to say.

Regardless, the moment was bizarre to say the least.

 


The exchange was even stranger when written down.

Many online suspected the President was literally losing his grasp on reality.



It's definitely hard to imagine any world where a sane person sincerely believes Parker and Bloomberg look similar.



Others believed the more likely explanation.

President Trump was making some sort of joke tinged with racism. Who the butt of the joke was isn't exactly clear, but Trump's insistence on repeating his "laugh line" seemed to suggest he was proud of the idea.


Perhaps he was even trying to satirize "political correctness" by showing how strange the concept of "color blindness" is?

Some people suspect Trump was simply trying to derail Parker's question.

Fortunately, Parker pressed forward and the moment quickly faded, so we'll never know exactly what the President's intention was.


President Trump claims to have passed his cognitive acuity test, but behavior like this makes many people wonder if he somehow cheated.

Alyssa Milano Shares Poignant Tribute To 'TV Husband' Julian McMahon After His Death At 56

Actor Julian McMahon lost his battle with cancer at the age of 56 earlier this week, and to say that the Charmed, Nip/Tuck, and Fantastic Four actor touched many lives would be an understatement.

When the news of McMahon's passing went public, his Charmed costar and "TV wife" Alyssa Milano came forward and expressed her sadness and condolences on Instagram. The pair were a favorite couple on Charmed, and it was clear from her post that their care for each other extended beyond the screen.
