Whoever let this door close in Donald Trump’s face, take the rest of the year off
There were many memorable moments and memes to emerge from Donald Trump’s court appearance when he became the first US president to be charged with crimes.
We’ve collected 27 of the best responses here and out of all the hours of footage, this 5 seconds was impossible to beat.
It’s the moment precisely no-one at the New York court holds the door open for Trump, who had to push it open for himself. And it went wildly viral because, well, watch.

Absolutely can’t stop watching that.
And it prompted one particularly funny callback to a moment back when Trump was still president.
I hope it was the PM of Montenegro.

You can be absolutely sure Trump will have HATED, HATED that. Guess when you’re under arrest court staff don’t hold doors open for you https://t.co/7SOgBKxEvH
