Alex Trebek Totally Nails How Donald Trump Would Play 'Jeopardy!'

<img alt=""/><p>In a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.vulture.com/2018/11/alex-trebek-jeopardy-in-conversation.html">newly published interview</a> with <em>Jeopardy!'</em>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.</p>

<p>Trebek also called Trump a bully in his interview, emphasized the importance of knowledge, and made some truly <a rel="nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/caleweissman/status/1062060337699151879">unfortunate comments</a> about the #MeToo movement.</p>
<p>But overall we have to say that Trebek's assessment of Trump sounds pretty on-point to us. </p>
