If you have ever been distracted by your phone that you left on and available during a meeting, then it might be relatable how US President Donald Trump did the same thing during a White House meeting.

Video and photos of US President Donald Trump "multitasking" at a discussion on the reopening of small businesses in the State Dining Room of the White House have gone viral, with social media users divided over whether it is appropriate for a president to be distracted during meetings. 

In footage from the discussion, Trump can be seen typing something on a smartphone - some users immediately noticed that the timing suggests that at the moment he was tweeting about the US "maintaining policy option of complete decoupling from China".

It is unclear if the president was posting the cited tweet at the moment.

​Some users saw nothing wrong with checking one's phone during a meeting, arguing that the president might actually have several tasks to complete.

​Several twitter users saw the situation as relatable.

​Some, however, did not accept the excuse of multitasking, insisting instead that POTUS should pay more attention at his meetings.

​Those who do not support the idea that Trump was tweeting about China offered several creative options as to what he was up to on his phone. Checking out his feed to see whether anyone likes him? Chatting with his daughter? We'll never know.
