Of Course, Trump Mocks Hillary Over ‘Sad, Pandering’ Subway Ride

Yesterday’s botched effort by Hillary Clinton to appeal to the everyman was joked about far and wide, so naturally, Donald Trump picked her apart for it.

Clinton’s photo-op at New York subway in the Bronx didn’t quite go the way as planned, seeing as how she needed to swipe her metro card five times before the turnstile let her on the platform. Michelle Bachmann and others have mocked this as more proof that Clinton knows nothing about how ordinary people live, and during a discussion on The Michele McPhee Show, Trump jumped on the bandwagon in full force.

“When you think, is it not just horrible? I just, I can’t even conceive of the whole thing,” Trump said to Sen. Scott Brown. “She hasn’t been on the subway in 20 years, if she was ever in the subway, and it’s so bad. The picture of her riding around for two stops, it’s called pandering it’s so bad.”

Considering how Trump has been rich since birth though, it does beg the question: how long has it been since he’s ever had to ride the subway?
