DONALD DOES DAYTONA
Powerline ^ | FEBRUARY 16, 2020 | JOHN HINDERAKER

A lot of bleak years in there.

We we’re due.

As you say, thank you Jesus, and no disrespect here at all.

Daytona International Airport is right next to the racetrack.

The Daytona airport is adjacent to the speedway. Fans in the Main Grandstand can clearly see planes landing or taking off.

Democrat email asking for money:
Trump flew Air Force One to the Daytona 500. The exhaust from the jet created a rainstorm thereby causing climate change and sending 200,000 people fleeing the storm.
