ROB FINNERTY (HOST): Donald Trump looks as natural in a trash truck and a McDonald's apron as he does sitting behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. Michael Dukakis, riding around in a tank in 1988, was a total disaster, and it cost him the election. If Trump loses, it's not going to be because he went to McDonald's. Whoopi Goldberg, another person who just doesn't get the American people anymore, spent her morning talking about how Trump looked getting into that trash truck. Take a look.

Alright, so the difference here, Whoopi, is that Donald Trump did not fall, unlike Joe Biden, who's been falling for the last four years. But yes, Donald Trump, the billionaire former president, who's had the door held for him for at least the last 20 years, doesn't spend a lot of time getting in and out of 18-wheelers or garbage trucks. And the handle on those doors — it's also a little bit different. They actually -- they pull out vertically. You see? It's not like the door on your Chevy. And guess what? Trump caught himself. It was fine. He didn't fall. It all worked out.
