Fire departments on both coasts raced to liberal homes as thousands of those afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome spontaneously combusted. And, what was the fuel that cause these poor, benighted souls to flame out? The sight of that famous ignighter President Donald J. Trump. President Trump was Grandmaster at Nascar’s Daytona 500. Not just Grandmaster, he said those famous words “Start your engines!” and he and our beautiful First Lady, Melania Trump took a ride on the track in the Presidential Limo, known at The Beast. Darius Rucker sang “Rock Me, Mama”. Add in the Air Force Thunderbirds and it was Red, White and Blue-tiful.

Trump is not the first President to visit Daytona, as the Tampa Bay Times noted:

Trump will be the second sitting president to attend the Daytona 500, after George W. Bush in 2004. Like Trump, he also attended the race during a presidential election year. Republican presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush also visited the track at Daytona but during races other than the 500.

Unlike John “Can I get me a hunting license here” Kerry trying to appeal to the beer and chips crowd, Donald Trump isn’t a poseur when it comes to Nascar. Richard Childress, Nascar team owner and grandfather of drivers Austin (racing today) and Ty Dillon, was on Fox & Friends this morning with Rick Reichmuth. He recalled sitting on a box at a track with Donald Trump back in the early 90’s.

So today, in front of approximately 100,000 spectators and another nine million watching on broadcast television, the President and First Lady took The Beast for a Presidential lap. Just so you know the average Nascar car weighs approximately one and three quarter tons. The Beast weighs in at 22,000 pounds. The Beast is more like an up-armored UPS truck, full loaded.

Watching Air Force One fly low and slow as it came in to the Daytona Airport, just behind the Motor Speedway, was a thing of beauty. Air Force one did a flyover at the Daytona 500. That’ll make your flag wave.

Fox Broadcast Network showed the crowd chanting “USA, USA”, for President Trump, while the Thunderbirds took off as the channel went to commercial. This is America the freaking beautiful.

Of course, the President walked out to Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless The USA”. The First Lady was stunning in a halter-style dress and her white stilettos. Trump acknowledged the Gold Star families, Medal Of Honor winner David Belavia and new Armed Forces enlistees. Pure American glory. After a school choir sang “Gold Bless America and Pastor Ronald Barton gave the invocation, Technical Sergeant Nalani Quintello sang our gorgeous National Anthem, while the Thunderbirds flew over and roared up.

Ladies and Gentlemen, rev your engines. We have earned this victory lap. We have been taking incoming fire from the Democrats, the lamestream media and the chattering class, Never Trumpers, I am looking at you, Bill Kristol and Jonah Goldberg. And, Nancy Pelosi wont shut the f**k up about Impeachment. This was OUR victory lap.

The Beast as a pace car made me tear up just a skosh. The Beast couldn’t make it up on the 31 degree bank on the track, but she did herself proud.

Here, from Nascar is the video:

I wouldn’t have missed this for the world.

Those poor Liberals who spontaneously combusted. I really don’t feel sorry for them. They will never understand why we love Trump and why Trump loves us. And, we love The Beast! The Daytona 500 is the Great American Race.
