    What’s weird is that Presidents aren’t allowed to drive themselves. Secret service is no doubt impounding that new car until he’s no longer their problem.

      They can, just not on public roads.

      Biden drove an electric Ford truck on a closed lot.

      Obama drove Jerry Seinfeld’s car on the White House grounds.

      He actually said this on camera, that he wouldn’t be driving it. But then, he said that he hadn’t driven in a “long time”…

      I don’t think he has a driver’s license.

        That’s code for he never learned to drive. Whatever polite bullshit you’re used to from other politicians isn’t happening here, so you can safely assume the exact opposite of what he’s saying.

        He did have a drivers license and was shown driving in 2014 on a video that his wife posted. The license expired in 2020. He probably didn’t renew it, since ex-presidents are also not allowed to drive, so he hasn’t been allowed to drive since 2016.
