    Part of the agreement presidents sign when they consent to USSS protection is that they are no longer allowed to drive themselves except in pre-approved, controlled situations. Thus, it’s even more concerning he had to ask for permission, since this should have been cleared in the planning stages, long before he got to touch the car, and he should have known that already. Just more evidence that the trump team don’t really know what they’re doing.

      In all likelihood it was cleared for him to drive and he knew he was supposed to drive.

      He just chickened out when it came time to do it.

      Seriously, watch the video if you haven’t, it’s easy to tell.

      Please God, let the secret service just let him run to the store himself when he needs milk and cookies…
