Confused Trump, 80, Asks Professor ‘Did You Know My Uncle?’

President Donald Trump had an awkward interaction when he randomly asked an internationally renowned physicist if he happened to know his uncle during a bizarre exchange in the Oval Office.

The president, 80, had gathered administration officials, scientists and tech company leaders in the Oval Office to sign two executive orders related to the government prioritizing quantum technology.

Among those in attendance was Nobel prize-winning physicist and professor John Martinis. The professor jointly won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2025 for the groundbreaking research that was originally published in a 1985 paper.
