Trump is having fun pretending to drive a truck on the White House
The President gets into the driving seat of a large lorry and proceeds to make funny ‘I’m driving!’ faces while pretending to drive the truck and toot the horn, just like your 5-year-old does when you let him sit at the wheel of your car.
He has been welcomed by the truckers of the United States, who label themselves the ‘backbone of the nation’s economy.’
The industry have employed 7.3m people – that’s 1 in every 16 people in the US – and 3.5million Americans are professional truck drivers. As the American Trucking Associations point out, ‘driving a truck is the top job in 29 states.’
Which makes truckers a valuable voting bloc and a powerful lobby, one that is fiercely opposed to Obamacare, the healthcare system that guarantees medical insurance for millions of Americans.
But ironically the Republicans could not agree to Trump’s reforms of the Affordable Care Act while the President was ‘driving’ around the lawn on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
With Trump on the Truck, Twitter couldn’t resist mocking his photoshoot.
We knew it was going to be a good day
Relatable
When life imitates art
You can believe this one

Some people did not forget what the point of the meeting was
Then he almost topped it
Man of the people…the yellow people
