In what many deem a stroke of political genius, President Trump served today as Grand Marshal of the Daytona 500 NASCAR race. He vowed to take a lap in the armored presidential limousine serving as a pace car, and did. Here are two short videos that show some of the action:

As you would expect, the president got an enthusiastic reception from the crowd of up to 200,000. NASCAR is famously patriotic, and Trump is a patriotic president. That may turn out to be the most fundamental difference between Trump and his Democratic opponent in November.
In 1972, I was discussing the upcoming presidential election with a friend from college. Both of us were on the left at the time, but my friend summed up the race succinctly: Nixon is going to win because he is for America, and McGovern is against America. It depends somewhat on who wins the Democratic nomination, but essentially the same dynamic will be on display this year

Deplorable Daughter wish that Barron was there.
Will the race start over or will it resume with some number of laps already run?
I had tickets to go one year but I got sick a couple of days before the big race and I was lucky to sell the tickets to a friend of a friend.
Daytona International Airport next to the track...
Lol! I can’t believe it, This EXISTS!
That is fantastic, thanks!
President Trump and wife Melania SHOW UP in person to participate. They SHOW RESPECT for the EVENT and its participators.
DIM-BULB Bloomberg shows his face by running electronic messages trying to diminish Trump while attempting to elevate himself>
I ask ONE question... which man's approach has more GRACE, STYLE, and RESPECT?
“If you look at the post it said 2020/02. Easy mistake to be made.”
definitely ... because the damn interweb media is just too damn lazy to check anything out for themselves, and so once something that isn’t true enters the interweb echo chamber, it just keeps getting repeated exponentially ... that’s how the lies of the dying lying leftist fake stream enemedia get repeated ad naseum ...
I'll agree times 10!
LOL! Good one!
Why is the gear down?

SWEET!!!
Fyi the Daytona airport runway is right next to the track. AF1 was simply landing.
Yes, they said he was in “the beast”.
Penlosi's ripping up her frequent flier miles......she was told she cant do a flyover.
Trump always looks like he is having fun using the symbols of power. Like a kid locked in the toy store—with all the ice cream and candy he wants.
Yeah, and I get a kick out of watching him do it.
IRT the Thomas/Trump picture. The guy that photobombed it has a keeper. and likely a nice picture frame as well
Well that takes the fun out of it. But thanks. Didn’t know that. It’s been a long time since I was in Daytona. Like 1966 if I recall.
