Elmo asked him if he wanted to drive, and Trump had to ask a handler if they wanted him to drive and they said he could. Elmo tried to reassure him that it was "just like a golf cart" but trump panicked and got out pretty quickly.

He was desperate for someone to tell him not to, but everyone was fine with it.

Then he made some quip about Biden not even being able to get in it, and us much as I dislike Biden, at least a couple of years ago he was still capable of driving:

It's probably been 50 years since trump drove anything besides a golf cart.

Biden famously still has his 1967 Corvette which he received from his father as a wedding gift. It is immaculate.

Biden may not be a gearhead but he is a proud owner/driver of one hell of a car. He kept it perfect.

edit: looking at the picture again, is that paint damage on the running board? I wonder if it had sidepipes at one point. I'm sure if it is damage and not a reflection it's been repaired by now, he loves that car.

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.

Pretty awesome and they have crazy features for camping like a slide out cooking top. I like the interiors a lot. Owned quite a few Volvos because I liked their interiors as they feel really quality (to me) and just make me happy to sit in and I got that same feel for Rivian. I focus on interior because that’s where I sit and I think of the Rivian interior as a mix of Volvo and Land Rover. I do a lot of camping and this would be the vehicle for that…you get basically a remote generator anywhere you go.
