The Freedom 250 Grand Prix is happening, and I am the one making it happen — August 22nd and 23rd, INDYCAR on Pennsylvania Avenue, the most beautiful street in the most beautiful capital, and nobody — NOBODY — else could have done this, BELIEVE ME. The cars go two hundred miles an hour on the street course, two hundred! And the fake news, the lamestream media, they are running around saying, “Oh, the speed limit is twenty-five miles an hour” — like THAT matters when I am putting on the biggest show Washington has EVER seen! Twenty-five miles an hour is for LOSERS! We are talking about a GREAT race, a TREMENDOUS race, part of the Two Hundred and Fiftieth birthday of this incredible Country, and I am RIGHT in the middle of it, organizing it, making it happen — very few people could have done it!
People are saying — many people, very smart people, the best people — they are saying this is going to be the most EXCITING thing that has EVER happened in Washington, D.C. And the IndyCar people, tremendous people, they came to the WHITE HOUSE — I hosted them at the White House, very few presidents would do that — and they said, “Sir, Sir, these cars have INCREDIBLE torque, incredible power, they can tear off manhole covers just with the ENGINE!” And I said, “That is EXACTLY why I am bringing them to Pennsylvania Avenue!” Because I do not run from power — I EMBRACE power, the most power, the biggest power — and if a manhole cover or two goes flying, that is just EXCITEMENT, that is the cost of making HISTORY! Very exciting, very powerful, the best engine you have ever seen!
I said something very funny at the White House — very entertaining, the whole room laughed — I said, “If we did that during the regular day, I think people would be put in jail, perhaps for the rest of their lives!” And everybody LOVED it! Because I am the FUNNIEST president in history — probably funnier than Lincoln, who was also very tall but not known for his comedy — but here is what the haters and the low-IQ critics DO NOT understand: this IS NOT the regular day! This is the RACE! I know the difference between a race day and a regular day, because I am SMART, the smartest, a very stable genius, everybody says so — while the fake news is sitting there with their calculators doing MATH about speed limits, I am making sure the people of this Country get the GREATEST spectacle they have EVER witnessed!
And the crowds — the crowds are going to be TREMENDOUS, by the millions, people calling from every state, every city, “Sir, Sir, we want to see the race!” — and they WILL come, because I love the people, the best people, the beautiful hardworking people of this Country — unlike the people who said it could not be done, the same haters and losers who said you CAN NOT put two hundred mile-an-hour cars on the most famous street in the world — well guess what, you CAN, and you WILL, and it is going to be BEAUTIFUL! Pennsylvania Avenue. Two hundred miles an hour. The manhole covers flying. INDYCAR. The Freedom 250 Grand Prix. I do not just watch history — I MAKE history! You are WELCOME, America! TREMENDOUS!
