        New York would have been cabs, and being from a wealthy family he probably got a chauffeur or driving service pretty early on. It’s fairly likely he either never knew how to drive or has long since forgotten.

        He does however, know how to drive a golf cart.

          As many New Yorkers will remember, he always rode around in a stretch limo. He wouldn’t be dead riding in a cab.

        Which raises this concern: Who was driving?

        I would think that USSS would need to be driving that truck in order to fulfill their responsibility to protect a former president. But does this mean that Trump is able to pull whatever campaign stunts he wants and receive government subsidized Secret Service protection for all of it, or does he have to reimburse for security at some point?

      There is video of him almost falling over because he missed the door handle of the truck. If he cant coordinate his body well enough to open a door, then he certainly cant drive.
