Donald Trump faced his day in court on Monday when he reported for jury duty -- except the former Celebrity Apprentice host was not selected.
The presidential hopeful shook hands and signed autographs for fans who had gathered outside of the State Supreme Court building in lower Manhattan, as he joined a reported 700 other citizens called as prospective jurors. He was later released without getting selected for trial.

Trump's court appearance came after a trip to Iowa on Saturday, during which he offered free rides on his helicopter to young children. In footage posted to his Facebook page, one boy asks Trump if he's Batman.
