“This is your favorite president.” Trump said. “I'm a big fan. I'm a really big fan of your people. I don't know how you'll do this. But I want you to be safe. ”
“You are talented people, you are great people, you are great Americans,” he continued. “I've had a good day and have lots of fun. I'll see you later.”

In 2020, Trump falsely accused Baba Wallace of a “horror” containing a rope found at a garage stall. The president cited his decision to assault Wallace and NASCAR and ban Confederate flags from the facility. Trump said Wallace, the only black full-time driver, should apologise for the incident.
