A video shows former President Donald Trump experiencing what could be a reality check: No one held the door open for him as he moved through the Manhattan courthouse to be arraigned on Tuesday.
The video, posted on Twitter by The Associated Press, captures the moment Trump entered the courtroom for his arraignment.
Unlike his time as president, or the presumed treatment he gets at Mar-a-Lago, no one held the door open for Trump.

Trump was indicted last week by a Manhattan grand jury after a monthslong series of testimonies and an investigation by the Manhattan district attorney's office. The case comes after a years-long probe into his finances, including a $130,000 "hush-money" payment Michael Cohen — Trump's former personal lawyer — said he paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
Trump arrived in Manhattan on Monday and was arrested on Tuesday afternoon. He pleaded not guilty after hearing the charges detailed in a 34-count felony indictment.
