President Trump Attends Daytona 500 as Grand Marshall

President Donald Trump was named the grand marshal of the Daytona 500.

In typical Trump fashion, never doing anything halfway, he did it in style,

First, he arrived on Air Force One, doing a flyover of the waiting crowd at the track, to great cheers.

Then he entered the track in “The Beast” his souped-up limo that reportedly has all kinds of secret protective gadgets.
