Leftists Angered over the Daytona 500 Should Blow it Out Their Tailpipes

The Centers for Disease Control is grappling with a massive outbreak of Trump Derangement Syndrome among Democrats and the Mainstream Media following pre-race festivities on Sunday at the Daytona 500.

President Trump was named grand marshal of "The Great American Race" and his appearance sent leftists scampering to their designated safe spaces.

Tens of thousands of race fans cheered, "USA, USA" as Air Force One flew about 800 feet over the speedway as "America the Beautiful" played over the public address system.

When the president arrived he was greeted with spectators waving "Make America Great Again" flags and chants of "four more years."

"It doesn't get more American than this," NASCAR driver Joey Logano said.

And then he did what no other sitting president has done - he took a lap around the track. "The Beast" was the official pace car of the race.

Among those breaking out into a flop-sweat was New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman. She accused the president of "using the official apparatus of government for what appears to be a political event."

Like Ivanka tweeted,Epic! I am not a fan of car racing, but I did watch and immensely enjoyed the festivities! The President was awesome! Felt so much pride for our country!

When asked by one of the FOX bimbettes what he thought about the President leading the pace lap, Clint Boyer asked over his in-car radio, “Is he really doing it?” When she assured him he was, Clint said ‘I love it … God it’s awesome’

I remember not one Leftist complaining when, days after being inaugurated, Zero and Mike flew AF1 to NYC for dinner...

Not sure. I just know they did it and the “media” were all gushy. Not a word about wasting taxpayer money...

Was Trump driving the Beast when making that lap? THAT would have been cool

I doubt it, but I agree that it would've been cool. In the past, Trump has been something of a "car guy", owning several exotic automobiles. So he does have some appreciation for turning high-octane gasoline into horsepower.

Accused? Is she some kind of self appointed law enforcement agency?

Did this genius not see the runway adjacent to the speedway? AF1 just did a low downwind prior to landing.

The truth is, she is horrified and needs to diminish the fact that, there are more people that wanted to see President Trump there than show up at a typical bernie rally.

It was funny yesterday that Bloomberg ads were running at every commercial break. Like anyone there or watching would consider voting for him.

Looks like it wasn't AF1, but they did use Marine One when they got to JFK.

Both Time and Politico, among others, tried to give it a positive spin while criticizing all Repubs who complained...

They’re always mad about anything and everything.

Why pay attention to it this time?

As A Floridian, I must congratulate Nascar, President Trump,the Thunderbirds, all US armed forces and law enforcement personnel, and the fans. What a great example of fossil fuel culture in action.The carbon footprint was minimal and the rain washed it into the nearby ocean. Oh and I wonder how much the Bloomin midget paid for his ads. It showed what an idiot he was when you could immediately contrast the President’s ( gotta love the First Lady too) actions and conversations ( like we all wouldn’t want to lead a pace lap at Daytona, or just be in one of the cars in the race as the President said [ 18 immediate secret service heart attacks when he said that, they would have had to sniper his tires for his own safety] with Bloomin’s talking points.

I vaguely recall a hard rock song by Night Ranger called
Sister Christian.

That song is commonly misheard.
Most people think the lyric says; “Motorhead, What’s your price tonight?”

When it really said: “You’re motorin’, what’s your price for flight?”

The Left has always grudgingly regarded NASCAR as an American icon even while they attack its fans as unredeemable racists.

In 2006 Dateline NBC brought some bearded Muslims into Daytona park, hoping to provoke “Islamophobic” incidents.

No such incidents occurred. But when NASCAR officials criticized NBC, the latter replied, “Maybe nothing transpired this time, but we’re going all over the country to root out Islamophobia wherever we find it! Allahu Akbar!!”

(OK, I added the last part)

;^)

Same as if Butt-plug attended a National Faggot Union convention. These creeps are insufferable!!!!1
= = = = = = = =

How about ANY of them going to college groups and ‘promising’ to forgive college loans

But I do remember that Fred Thompson was not allowed to declare his run for the Presidency until ALL of the current L&O episodes were run because he was in it.

What does that say for ANY of these fools hitting the late night shows ‘campaigning’?
