Donald Trump is no longer this month’s Indianapolis 500 pace car driver. [...]In recent weeks, Trump pressed President Barack Obama to prove his birthplace, which created a media firestorm. Speedway officials felt the backlash and were inundated by complaints on social media, including a Facebook page called “Dump Trump.”
He was... fired?
It's kind of amazing that Trump would allow himself to be seen driving a car himself. That's not the sort of thing a cartoon rich man would do! You would expect Trump to sit in a back seat made of gold and violently whip a chauffeur. And that would give him even more publicity. [Indianapolis Star]
