Formula 1 Crowds Cheer As Donald Trump Arrives, Chant ‘USA! USA!’
Former President Donald Trump received a warm welcome at this year’s Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix at the Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday.
During his day at the races on Sunday, the former president went on an angry, 31-post spree on his Truth Social app, despite the seemingly warm welcome he got from the crowds at the event.
Various videos posted on X showed the Republican nominee at various stages of his visit being greeted by crowds and a slew of media throughout the venue. He could also be seen saluting fans as the National Anthem played just before the start of the race.
Trump’s deputy communications chief Margo Martin posted a video of the former president being welcomed with chants of “USA!” as he entered a pit lane, and other clips showed him shaking hands or participating in photo ops.
