When President Donald Trump recently told Reuters he misses driving, many were quick to doubt that he'd been behind the wheel of a car for years.
The comments, which followed Trump's pronouncement to Reuters that "I like to drive" and "I can't drive anymore" caught the attention of Axios reporter Jonathan Swan, who Sunday went digging to find any video evidence of Trump behind the wheel.
What he found was what could only be described, as he wrote, as "glorious."
The footage he unearthed was from 2014. It was filmed by Melania Trump from the backseat of Trump's Rolls-Royce. Trump sat in the driver's seat, with his son, Barron Trump, riding shotgun.
The family was driving, blasting Taylor Swift's 2014 hit "Blank Space."

Reminds me of the hilarious Rolls Royce scene in the Chris Rock movie “Down to Earth.” The Chris Rock character comes back to life as an old rich white guy, and he insists on driving his Rolls Royce around with his chauffer in the passenger seat — blasting rap music on the stereo. LMAO.
LBJ used to drive, on his ranch. He had a big problem coaxing anybody to ride with him.
I wouldn’t let him anywhere near a shotgun, either.
Nor Dick Cheney?
Because he was often drunk as a Lord.

Here his Special Assistant, Joseph A. Califano, Jr recalls a ride with the President:
“In the early afternoon, the President, with me next to him in the front seat, took his white Lincoln convertible, top down, for a drive around the ranch. It was incredibly hot; the dust clouds made it hard to breathe. But there was relief. As we drove around we were followed by a car and a station wagon with Secret Service agents. The President drank Cutty Sark scotch and soda out of a large white plastic foam cup. Periodically, Johnson would slow down and hold his left arm outside the car, shaking the cup and ice. A Secret Service agent would run up to the car, take the cup and go back to the station wagon. There another agent would refill it with ice, scotch, and soda as the first agent trotted behind the wagon. Then the first agent would run the refilled cup up to LBJ’s outstretched and waiting hand, as the President’s car moved slowly along.”
No, but at least Dick didn’t try to teach Americans self-defense or gun safety.
That might have had something to do with the fact he would drive unsuspecting passengers into the Pedernales river in an amphibious car.
My president can drive better than you butt ugly democrats and he can pump gas too.
You realize that this just makes me love Taylor and Donald all that much more???
