God Bless President and Melania Trump.
Looking forward to his lap!
The Beast pulled onto the track and FOX isn’t showing it.

Reached out to multiple sources with knowledge of Trump’s plan at Daytona 500.
- Trump will act as grand marshal of the race.
- Trump will give the iconic, “gentlemen, start your engines” command.
- The President *will* take a track lap in “The Beast” ahead of the Daytona 500.
So the Beast is warming up on the track before POTUS and FLOTUS climb aboard?
I never watch NASCAR, but this I have to see.

800ft above the track said the announcer not sure bout that but it was cool.
25 minutes ago AF1 buzzed the racetrack. ..live on Fox. It was great. Great video from a escort jet. ...

Great!
(it sure would be wonderful to see PDJT pilot a real race car around the lap....but I suppose the security won’t permit it?) this is still good

Donald’s hair did better.
Video available on Twitter for anyone who missed AF1 arriving. FOX did a nice job with that.
