No one held the door open for Donald Trump as he appeared in a Manhattan courthouse to face 34 criminal charges
Washington Post contributing columnist George Conway posted online: “I can't get over the contrast between the court officers allowing the door to close in Trump's face today with Trump pushing aside a prime minister at a NATO meeting to get to the front of a photograph.”
Another said it was a telling moment for how Trump is viewed: “What I just noticed the most was cops not holding the door for trump. He expected to be presidentially treated and they let the door close on him and he had to open it himself.” The court officer who entered ahead of Trump let the door swing closed into the former president's path.One person who noticed the moment said online: “NYC lawyer here. To be clear, NYS court officers don’t hold the door open for anyone … ever.”
Another person wrote: “Trump treated by CSO as if he’s just another arraigned defendant. No special treatment. Not any longer.”Trump denied the 34 criminal charges he faces - they are classed as Class E felonies - the lowest category of felony offence that carry a maximum sentence of four years. Trump went on to deliver a speech at Mar-a-Lago where he denied any offences and said his opponents "seek to destroy" the US.
