Pace Lap

President Trump is going to Daytona.  Oh, he has GOT to do the burn-out at the end of the lap, like the race drivers do.  You know  his car can do it.  And the Secret Service driver would love it.
And while it’s happening, play Trump’s voice over the loudspeaker, “Hey folks, THIS is how Daytona feels the burn!”
The man is running like he means it.  Why not have some fun while you take a shot at the opposition?

It sounds like it was time well spent for the President.

  1. I didn’t see it in the USA Today link because, well, I really dislike how “busy” the USA Today site is, so eff’em. If that link didn’t include the Air Force 1 flyover, you’re really missing something. So, here you go. Eight hundred feet above the track.

  2. So, when he said “Start your engines,” was the ensuing noise from the race cars or from all the lefty heads exploding? That’s assuming there were any unexploded heads left after the NCAA Championship national anthem.

    Regardless of political position, though, you’d have to admit that using the presidential limo as the pace car of the Daytona 500 was political genius. Now Bernie’s got to settle for opening the Hunger Games.

  3. Gotta wonder if Trump can name a single driver. And Ricky Bobby doesn’t count.

    Trump doesn’t give two s___s about stock car racing or the fans. But he understands the power of appearance, the art of illusion, and the gullibility of the American public.

  4. “Trump doesn’t give two s___s about stock car racing or the fans. But he understands the power of appearance, the art of illusion, and the gullibility of the American public”

    So what you’re saying is that he is doing what politicians do? Shocking. I’m sure that’s why he won last time around.

  5. Stupid gullible deplorables: fooled again by the Orange Man. Why don’t they see that condescension is just another form of respect?

  6. ^^ Deplorables is a poor trope, but if it’s all you have then — good on you.

    Taxpayers are covering the price of transporting his limousine, fueling it, and operating it, all as a political campaign stunt.

    Imagine how irate Fox news and conservatives would be if the occupant of the WH was wearing a tan suit or in NY on a Valentine date….

  7. Gotta love how Emery just can’t resist an attack on the President, no matter how absurd. He doesn’t have real things to attack him for–like the time President Obama talked to Iowa voters about not being able to get aragula at Whole Foods–so he makes s*** up.

    Regarding the notion that Trump has no clue about NASCAR, I seem to remember that he’s quite the car buff and has owned a stable of luxury and sports cars, and has owned a home in Florida for decades. So Emery cannot even come up with a believable attack on the President.

  8. Trump doesn’t give two s___s about stock car racing or the fans./

    How do you know that, Emery? Are you a travelling mind-reader for the circus these days?

  9. So NASCAR fans aren’t deplorable? Would rednecks work better? How about rubes? Like gullible rubes all named Ricky. Bobby, or Ricky Bobby? Still sounds condescending to me, but as you say, if it’s all you have then — good on you.

    That political campaign stunt angle is a good one. Could be illegal too. You’ve got him good now. Impeach!

    Fox news and conservatives. Talk about tired tropes.

  10. As if all the times Obama used “The Beast” to go to campaign events, and be photographed at them, wouldn’t, at least under the same logic, violate the exact same law. This is why we call it “Trump derangement syndrome”, I think. People on the far left completely lose their minds every time Trump does something that makes him look good and connected to the electorate.

  11. Any of the rest of us who complain about being moderated, need to take notice of Ian, the True Master of Being Moderated. I’ve noticed this before and mentioned it (to him via a blog comment), but looking at this last entry that was (it seems to me to have been) moderated, I am very impressed. It’s almost like the Akismet software has a special Ian filter.
