Donald Trump to drive Indy 500 Pace Car

Trump's one of those people that's amusingly bad, I love the US version of The Apprentice for its sheer naffness, and cringe every time he talks (or yells). He's obviously talented or he wouldn't be a self-made billionaire after being bankrupted so many times, but the he does have a bit of a tendancy to concrete over things first and think later - he is currently trying to destroy a nature reserve in Scotland, which is part of why he's not overly loved in the UK.

I don't really care that he's driving the car at the 500, he probably paid quite a lot for it, and the series could do with some money. It'd be nice so see Andretti or someone in the car, but it's not like he's racing.

The story I saw said something about him being taken aback when he found out he wasn't getting paid to show up. Typical for this butt wipe.

Wow!

Seriously?

That is deserving of such an Insult?

Do you have any idea how many appearance request a person like Donald Trump gets? Do you have any idea the value of his time?
You do realize that the IMS is a For Profit business don't you? An invite to a celeb for the Indy 500 is part of their marketing and their event. IMS will gain from it..why shouldn't he?
I am not a Fan of "the Donald" but to insult him for wanting to be paid for his "celebrity" is pretty silly and naive on your part.

The only naiveté being exhibited here is your thinking that this is the only reason why I am calling him a butt wipe.

What other form of jealousy makes you feel that way?

So you think jealousy is the only reason why some folks have disdain for someone else? Maybe that's what drives you, but for me it's about his political B.S. among other things. Specifically, regarding his politics it's the birther crap. Beyond that it's his pompous attitude, as compared to folks like Warren Buffet and others who could buy and sell him out of pocket and who have a grounded self realization. Not that you really cared, you really only wanted to kick a little sand as usual. Yawn.

So it is jealousy or do you just find it amusing to insult people who you disagree with politically?

My, my, my someone is really struggling with some pretty simple English. Both questions were already answered.

Somehow though, I think you already saw and just chose to ignore what had been previously written. Not really surprising.
