Liberal activists freak out over Trump Daytona 500 flyover

President Trump’s appearance at the Daytona 500 had several prominent liberal activists accusing him of government waste and reckless spending.

After a flyover in Air Force One, followed by a lap around the Daytona International Speedway in the United States presidential state car, the Democrat-supporting personalities seethed at the amount of government spending that may have taken place.

The trend of the day by these activists was to ask why the Department of Government Efficiency, and therefore Musk, was not cracking down on the president’s joyrides in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Call to Activism, a page with over one million followers, said Trump supporters had lost the right to complain about wasteful spending after the event. The page claimed Trump’s motorcade, flight, and airspace restrictions for the day came with a price tag upwards of $1.8 million and suggested millions more was wasted on costs like security throughout the day.

Democrat activist Harry Sisson, who was a staunch defender of President Biden, desperately asked, “WHERE IS DOGE?”

“This cost millions to do. Where is the cutting of wasteful spending????? First the Super Bowl and now this??” Sisson added.

Brian Krassenstein, another noted Democrat supporter with a large following, claimed Trump was wasting money while simultaneously taking money away from HIV patients.

“Trump parading around Daytona 500 certainly doesn’t seem ‘efficient’ to me,” Krassenstein wrote. “But taking HIV medication away from people who can’t afford it is ‘efficient’?”

Other pages complained predominantly about the price of jet fuel, with one self-professed Democrat having made the claim that Air Force One will be paid for “out of grandpa’s social security benefits.”

‘The Daytona 500 is a timeless tribute to the speed, strength, and unyielding spirit that make America great.’

Trump wished the NASCAR drivers a safe and fun day during his time on the track and praised the whole event for emanating the American spirit.

“From the roar of the engines on the track to the echo of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ soaring through the stands, the Daytona 500 is a timeless tribute to the speed, strength, and unyielding spirit that make America great,” Trump was quoted as saying.

Trump was also joined by his young grandchildren Luke and Carolina, Eric Trump’s children. The children stood with the president on the track as he visited crews and did interviews.

Hendrick Motorsports’ William Byron ended up winning the Daytona 500, driving the No. 24 Chevrolet. Four Toyota drivers rounded out the top five.
