Pres. Trump Puts on Spectacular Show of 'American Glory' at NASCAR with Air Force One and 'The Beast'
2020-02-17
[PJ] NASCAR fans got the show of the century on Sunday at the Daytona 500 when the grand marshal of the event, President Donald J. Trump, made his entrance by buzzing the Daytona International Speedway in Air Force One‐only 800 feet off the racetrack. Announcers called it "one of the most incredible things" ever seen.

"I've been to a lot of Daytona 500s, but never have I felt [this] excitement and energy...we've got the president landing right now!" said one of the announcers. No president has ever been the grand marshal of the Daytona 500. Look at this photo!

#14  A Soviet colonel of tanks
Advanced to the front of the ranks.
He detested the Whites
And the rich and the right,
Sneaky allies, their friends, and... the banks.

#12  Lex scowl maybe but Patton was like no other. His command of military history was almost spiritual. His death to this day I have always felt was an assassination.

#11  With some contact lenses, the right helmet and a bit of the makeup woman's art, Bernie could be a ringer for Patton.

He's got the sneer of command ... well, a perpetual scowl, anyway

#10  Would love to see a pic of the Lenin impersonator at the turret, gussied up like Dukakis

#9  Thanks, but seriously, that was just (bleep)ing awesome. I'd like to see the video set to "Born To Be Wild". Mini-Mike doesn't have enough money to offset that kind of publicity -- he would definitely come up short.

#7  The Dems can easily top this by having Bernie ride in a tank.

#6  "... 800 ft above the massive crowd ...." No, the flight was not above, but at a safe angle from the massive crowd.

#5  Trump is an entertainer at heart. And he entertained the fuck out of those people.

Naturally the regressive left had a collective heart attack.

#4  Did the Slimes compare it to Zero's buzzing of Manhattan, reminding folks of airliners smashing into tall buildings?

#3  New York Times Has An Issue With Trump's Daytona 500 Appearance - The crowd loved him. So, of course, media decided it was improper.

Air Force One flew low, just 800 ft above the massive crowd gearing up to watch the 62nd running of the Daytona 500. President Donald Trump, with the First Lady, Melania Trump, took to the microphone and addressed the crowd: talking about the love of NASCAR, and the more important love of country. The tens of thousands in attendance cheered. He joked with FOX Sports about jumping in a car and racing a few laps. And after uttering the classic words of racing, he got into the presidential limo - affectionately known as "The Beast" - and led the drivers around the track.

#2  Sometime before the election, I'd like to see the 'Beast' stop along some Iowa country road and give this fellow and his dog a ride back to town.

#1  ...The best part is that the networks HAD to show 100K people standing up and cheering for Donald J. Trump...
