Can Donald Trump drive?

I wonder if he has ever driven a car...or just been driven his whole life...?

I assume the office of POSTUS is "no drivers license required" - perfect...

(no offense to normal city dwellers - who might not drive)

ETA the story as to how I ran across it: Hubby and I were looking at some funny as heck pictures of Trump throwing a baseball, I commented that you can really get a good idea of his rather small hand size in it by comparing one to the baseball, my hubby asked how tall Trump is, thinking maybe he's shorter than he thought (he's taller then he thought), so I looked up his height and found the license.

But no matter how he wants to be he is not. Yes he can drive and has a collection of cars, one Lamborghini is up for sale.

5. The president is not allowed to drive

It's probably for security reasons. Recently, Vice President Biden wanted to drive his vintage Corvette for his birthday and he had to get special permission from the Secret Service.

Regardless, Donald Trump shouldn't be allowed to do anything, you know, like if he were in prison...

And I call bullshit on the height of 6'2" if he's that tall then he's taller than President Obama.

That...THING on top of his head is truly repulsive. I've seen better hair on televangelists and hard-core country crooners.

I was surprised when asked if I wanted to keep using my old picture at renewal (in MA). I said no, since I've stopped coloring my hair and look different. Drumpf must look at his license and think he still looks like that. Delusional buffoon. Only the dull dead eyes are the same.

Jared Kushner in particular. Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Jeff Sessions, on and on. Behind their eyes, they're dead already, just nothing going on in there in terms of light and life, just the grindings of hateful and dangerous ideas.

Try to pace it a bit.

As for driving, you don't drive because you choose not to. However, the fact is, someone who cannot (or chooses to not) drive, will eventually have to rely on others to get around (public transportation doesn't go everywhere; Uber has serious problems and taxis are costly). I'm not being critical, just stating fact.

I think the OP is alluding to 45 as a person so coddled and removed from everyday life, that his capacity to comprehend the struggle of the average person beyond him.

Reminds me of "Arthur" the old 1981 movie with Dudly Moore where the millionaire is incompetent of normal day to day transactions. Not being able to drive because he is chauffeured everywhere, doesn't pay because it's always charged or a servant has the card. Incapable of having what we call a normal life. Unlike Chump, Arthur finds a way out.



Arthur he does, what he pleases
Followed his life, his masters toys
And deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
He's showing himself a real good time
He's laughing about the way they wanting to be

Ah the idiot rich.

is when a butler or whoever brings him a KFC or whatever. He doesn't have a few bucks in his wallet. He doesn't have a wallet for crying out loud. He lives in a bubble. He doesn't see real people on the street. He's privileged.
