Trump can’t even handle a softball interview. Listen to him explain why he likes the Daytona 500!! 😂😂
He is the weirdest person on earth!! He couldn’t act normal if his life depended on it. Does he even know what he’s talking about? 😂😂 Embarrassing!#DAYTONA500 #Daytona

Edited to add: Come to think of it, I wonder if that thing ever learned to drive. I'll bet he's never had a license. And WTF is Melanie wearing?

[magicarpet]

1. His whole life us a Public Relations stunt.

[Different Drummer]

4. Exactly correct.

DD

[Historic NY]

2. And Melania thinks................

or does she.

[Different Drummer]

7. The jury's still out on that.

DD

[lunatica]

14. She has to concentrate on when to smile and when not to

Though lately she looks like she thinks she’ll break her face if she smiles.

So yeah, she thinks.

[rzemanfl]

3. Nazi moron. n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. I cant. Just can't. It's painful enough just reading his bs.

Can't bring myself to actually listen to his bs.

[Wellstone ruled]

6. Great case study in how to fail upwards.

[CatMor]

8. I don't believe he has been there four other times ..

He lies about everything. I can't see him having the slight bit of interest in auto racing. It couldnt keep his limited attention span for more than five minutes.

[rockfordfile]

9. The dumb rednecks that watch Nascar don't know any better.

Well dying Nascar is in full circle. They had traitor and war criminal Bush, and Nascar now has traitor, racist and fascist trump.

10. Very ironic shit about NASCAR, history-wise. . .

The stock-car boys from back then would NOT have tolerated a tee-totaler like Trump.

[vishnura]

11. Yes! Get into one, you pissant, and do a few laps. The ambulances are waiting.

[jmowreader]

31. There's no way he could "get into one"

They don't make stock car driver's windows in 68 Extra Fat.

[Cirque du So-What]

12. Can't you even act like a normal person?

[democratisphere]

13. Meanwhile, Melania stood there like a dead silence mannequin.

[leftieNanner]

16. That's what I noticed!

Watch her weird face and how it semi-contorts while he is speaking. I think she is cursing at him in her native tongue. And why is she always doing that squinty-eyed pursed lips model thing?

[Lochloosa]

17. Because she is a pursed lip squinty-eyed model?

[leftieNanner]

19. LOLOLOL!

I bet she would have been cut the first week on America's Next Top Model! (I used to watch it when my kids were little.)

Her face is just frozen in pain/anger/frustration. She wants out of there NOW! And as soon as The Orange One is booted from OUR HOUSE, she will file for divorce.

[democratisphere]

18. I thought her native tongue was broken English.

The squinty eyes are because she is a grey alien.

[LawnKorn]

21. Squinty eyes?

I thought it was the reptilians who had the squinty eyes.

The reptilians are also shape shifters. I wonder who she shifts into when they are alone?

[greenjar_01]

20. Truth of the matter is that Melania's English is not very good

They touted her as speaking seven languages or some such. It was obvious she couldn't follow simple French (supposedly one of her fluent languages); I'd bet her English is passable but not very strong. You almost never hear her speak off the cuff. Prepared remarks always.

[democratisphere]

22. Yeah

Prepared remarks written and spoken previously by Michelle Obama.

[Nevilledog]

28. *snort*

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

34. Her italian, from what I've heard so far, is pretty much non existent. As is

her "degree in architecture". Her whole moronic persona is a fabrication.

[gordianot]

15. If it were not for Obama the only cars at NASCAR would be:

Ford and maybe Nissan. GM would be gone as well as Chrysler. Mercedes and BMW might have been a good substitute.

[smirkymonkey]

23. What a moron!

[Polly Hennessey]

24. I believe Melanie is

wearing her “maggot” dress.

[catbyte]

25. ...

I'm glad I swallowed that mouthful of water before I opened your post.

[Grasswire2]

26. Is she taller than he is?

Or does she have some sort of a wig codpiece under her hair at the top?

[guillaumeb]

27. He knows nothing about nearly everything.

Reagan could at least act normal in public.

[Hekate]

29. His lifelong Big Con is failing him as his mind is failing him & the brain cells sputter out...

For the effective "deal"/ con, you have to be quick to pick things up so you can give it back to the rubes in quick patter. I know bellowing threats is his schtick, but when there's nothing else in there, it's scary to watch.

[keithbvadu2]

30. Get into one of these cars

[jmowreader]

32. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Donnie...

If you're such a big NASCAR fan, Mr. Trump, then you can answer a few simple questions that any NASCAR fan would know right off the top of his head...

1) How big is the engine in a stock car?
2) What was the original logo for the Winston Cup series?
3) What's the most championships a driver has ever won?
4) Name all the drivers who have that many.
5) Who makes the gasoline NASCAR uses?
6) How about the tires?
7) Most NASCAR teams are based near one speedway. Name it.
8) Not counting the 2001 Daytona 500, what is the most famous way Dale Earnhardt lost the Daytona 500?
9) Why was Richard Petty's STP car blue and red?
10) Who drove the Underbird?

And so you can be smarter than Donald Trump:
1) 350 cubic inches.

2) A pack of cigarettes with a checkered flag behind it.

3) Seven.

4) Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt and Jimmie Johnson.

5) Sunoco.

6) Goodyear.

(Anyone who watches a race long enough to reach the pit window will know 5 and 6; the announcers will state during a race that a driver is stopping for a can of Sunoco fuel or for some fresh Goodyear tires.)

7) Charlotte Motor Speedway.

8) In the 1991 Daytona 500, Earnhardt hit a seagull on the backstretch of Lap 1 and lost a lot of laps changing the radiator.

9) STP's corporate color is red. Petty Enterprises' corporate color is blue. The negotiations to have STP sponsor Petty almost fell through until one of Petty's employees suggested creating a design with both colors in it.

10) Alan Kulwicki was the last owner-driven race team to win the Winston Cup. They ran the Ford Thunderbird. Kulwicki was severely underfunded but was doing well, so he talked NASCAR and Ford into letting him remove the letters "T" and "H" from the "thunderbird" label on the nose of his car, to signify his "underdog" status.
