Faux SCOOP: Trump to take a lap at Daytona 500 in Limo



John Roberts ✔@johnrobertsFox

SCOOP: Multiple Sources tell @FoxNews that @realDonaldTrump is planning to take a lap at the @DISupdates Daytona International Speedway in the “Beast” presidential limo ahead of the Daytona 500. It’s not 100%, but that is the plan at the moment.
