Late last week, we reported that former US president Donald J. Trump’s arraignment had been scheduled for Tuesday of this week, after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, his investigators and prosecutors, and the grand jury made history following the jury’s monumental vote to indict the 45 president of the United States. This served as the first time in American history that a current or former US president has ever been charged with a crime.
Reporting indicated that the scandal-ridden, disgraced former president intends to enter a plea of not guilty to the charges lodged against him, relating to the infamous 2016, 6-figure hush money payments made to adult film star and former Trump affair partner, Stormy Daniels, just mere weeks ahead of the 2016 presidential election that Donald Trump went on to win. According to evidence acquired through the investigation, Trump ordered his then-personal attorney and self-described “fixer,” Michael Cohen, to make the $130,000 payment to Daniels in an effort to buy the porn star’s silence ahead of the election. Trump allegedly promised to reimburse the attorney for the 6 figure payment made to Daniels. Cohen has since developed into a key, star witness in the Manhattan District Attorney’s notorious hush money investigation.
Yesterday afternoon, we reported on the bombshell news that disgraced, scandal-ridden former President Donald Trump had officially departed his Mar-a-Lago golf resort turned post-White House home in Palm Beach, headed to Manhattan, New York, where he would spend the night in Trump Tower, and face his formal, historical arraignment the next day. Reports indicated that Melania did not accompany her husband to New York.
Just earlier this afternoon, we reported on the breaking news from multiple outlets, confirming that former United States President Donald J. Trump had arrived at the Manhattan courthouse, where he would face his formal arrest and arrangement.
Footage of Trump entering the Manhattan courthouse — where he was ultimately booked, fingerprinted, and processed before facing his arraignment on a staggering 34 felony charges — quickly went viral on social media. The whole thing was rather surreal, honestly, as millions of people across the nation have waited literal years for this day to come.

However, there was one particular moment that caught the attention of social media users, when people noticed that one courthouse officer failed to hold the door open for the disgraced former president on their way into the Manhattan courthouse.
The officer in question walked into the courthouse right in front of Donald Trump. But if you pay attention to the video clip, the official failed to hold the door open for Donald to walk in directly behind him. Instead, he essentially let the courthouse door all but close in Trump’s face.
See for yourself:
Shout out to the guy who didn’t hold the door open for Trump pic.twitter.com/2KULzAJlL3

Honestly, Donald Trump probably hasn’t pushed a door open for himself in the last two decades. Suffice it to say, Americans were living for it on Twitter:
I’ll bet they get the door held open for them. pic.twitter.com/UXtPQZfV7J
