Donald Trump likes to act like he’s a fan of NASCAR and would love nothing more than to sit and watch the race all day with a bunch of hillbillies while chugging Busch beer.

But let’s be honest folks. Trump is a New Yorker who was a Democrat until he realized that Republicans were dumb enough to elect him president.

And he proved that today while attending the Daytona 500 in Florida, when he hightailed it out of there before the race even began.

According to reporter Jon Alba, Trump bailed on the festivities before they ever began:

Air Force One is rolling on the runway, so it would appear President Trump is leaving the #Daytona500 before it begins. He wasn't scheduled to stay very long as is. #NASCAR

From Raw Story:

Trump has courted NASCAR fans since the early days of his campaign, but their short memories may have forgotten about the promise Trump made for a new NASCAR track.

“In March 1999, plans were announced to build just that track, which would have cost $400 million and would have seated 300,000 stock-car fans, even more than the Indianapolis Motor Speedway,” wrote Forbes. “It was to be a joint effort by NASCAR’s France family, then led by Bill France Jr., and Trump, then a New York real-estate mogul.”

The track was going to be called the Trump Super Speedway. It never manifested.

Twitter had some thoughts:

Trump shows up boasting about how much he loves the sport and then leaves before the race even begins…ok… https://t.co/8gxlPjIG1i

Put on his propaganda show, had no interest in the event itself. His believers are so stupid, he doesn't need to put in a full appearance. They'll swear he was there till the end anyway. By next month, he'll say he drove the winning car, and they'll swear that's what they saw.

He had no interest in the event itself, just wanted the publicity from being there for his re-election campaign and to avoid having to do actual Presidential work

He just showed up long enough to have his limo drive fast around the track, while he went "zoom! zoom! zoom!" in the back seat.

I'm not joking. https://t.co/JQmIwrhAZT

Someone hates #NASCAR but wants to pretend to care… He only care about staying out of prison. Job growth is LESS than the last 3 years of Obama, market inflated by a tax cut for the rich and companies buying their own stocks. While the 99% continue to press on with less. https://t.co/H1M90WwpXO
