BWAHAHA! MAGAts ENRAGED as Fox cuts to commercial during Trump's Daytona speech.



https://www.rawstory.com/2020/02/communist-fox-network-angers-trump-fans-at-daytona-500-by-cutting-to-commercial-as-he-begins-speech/

The FOX broadcast network seemingly snubbed the president of the United States on Sunday when it cut to commercial while he was speaking.

Viewers complained on Twitter that FOX Sports cut away prior to President Donald Trump’s campaign-style speech at the Daytona 500, where he was named grand marshal.

FOX’s cameras were also criticized for cutting away from Trump’s lap at the Daytona 500 in his presidential limo. Instead, fans were treated to a commercial from Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg.

Some viewers praised the network for not giving the president’s 2020 campaign additional publicity.

I watched them from the limo to the speech area.

she did not smile until the camera was on her and she was as far away from trash as she could be

she probably does not like the smell of the race track. it is way beneath her you know

Dress would be fine with almost any other kind of belt, but that lacey too-wide mess is just ridiculous. Even this fashion-less poster knows better than the "super model" on this score.

and she is not happy with the trash. She stayed as far away from him as possible and only smiled when the camera was on her

Especially Slovianians. My Paternal grandmother was 100% Eastern European of Slovenian parents. She was built thick, close to the ground, and like a brick shithouse.

The story goes that when dumbass Donnie Junior was in college, Daddy Dearest picked him up to go to a (Yankees? Mets?) game, and was pissed that Junior was dressed appropriately for going to a game (team windbreaker). Daddy Dearest made him go change into a suit and tie.

And Jr dared to wear a Yankees jersey. Trump punched him in the face, knocking him down. He told Jr to put on a suit and meet him outside.

it again and guestimate just how many of the 500 miles we got to see. The go to commercials while they're running, then cut back if any wrecks or anything happen. One time it was a pit incident they came out of commercials for, then threw another one on about as soon as they got going again. It was ridiculous.

They probably thought they had to run those ads as they were scheduled, before Trump decided to go there.

Fox Sports is less 'political' than the "News" side of it.

I know, I watch their football broadcasts. I have to, they have the contract for the NFC.

But like I said, no politics in the FB games, except for purchased ad time. Kind of funny that Bloomberg leveraged an ad into Trump's free ad.

For other presidents they want one that the speaker can crouch behind in case someone opens fire.

Who knows? Maybe the SS despises Trump like the rest of us. They might be in LIHOP mode.

FOX shits on him, the weather shits on him, NASCAR fans on the racing forum are mad at him delaying the show, Twitter is full of posts about him breaking the law. Trump's dog and pony show can't even make the NASCAR crowd happy. Everything he touches turns to shit.
