Trump Breaks The Law With Campaign Stunt At Daytona 500


 Since the Republican Senate gave Trump a license to break ANY law at ANY time, this is largely a moot point...

Trump Breaks The Law With Campaign Stunt At Daytona 500

SUN, FEB 16TH, 2020 BY JASON EASLEY

Donald Trump used the taxpayer-owned and funded presidential limousine to take a lap at the Daytona 500 in a presidential campaign stunt.

Here is Trump riding around the track:

As Maggie Haberman pointed out Trump is using taxpayers resources for his reelection campaign:

It is illegal for elected officials to use taxpayer resources for personal political events. The presidential limo is not owned by Trump. It is owned by the taxpayers. Trump went to the Daytona 500 as part of his presidential election campaign. It wasn’t an official presidential event.

Trump had no public events listed on the presidential schedule for Sunday.

The reason why no other president has taken a lap in the presidential limo at Daytona before is that it is illegal.

Somebody call Adam Schiff!  New articles of impeachment!  President Trump took Air Force One to Florida and then he took a ride in the presidential limo. 

Why didn't he just take a cab?

12. Did not know that it was prohibited

Just wondering how did former incumbent presidents travel to campaign events, without using government resources like Air Force 1 and Secret Service Motorcades?
Shut up, MichMan--probably Trump buddy Mitch McConnell trolling.

When did the Daytona 500 change from a sporting event to a campaign event?

Since hes been donating his salary and all we're out is maybe a 1/16 tank of gas I'd say the average taxpayer is pretty far ahead at this point. How fast did they get it up to?

Obama (and all presidents) also traveled in the pres limo when they were campaigning.

Ladies and gentlemen, you are looking at the deep thinkers of the left.  And no, I'm not kidding.  Wait tomorrow, the democrat propagandist eneMedia, Nanzi Poligrip and Schmuck Choomer will be saying the same thing.

You. Know. I'm. Right.

It's ok. Remember, the Democrats are the party that favors the law breakers over the law abiding citizenry.  What Obama and Clinton did criminally is perfectly fine and reasonable with the DUmmies.
