A New Hampshire man was arrested after allegedly slapping a teenager across the face at a polling site because the boy was wearing a MAGA hat. Patrick Bradley, 34, of Windham, New Hampshire, now faces three counts of simple assault and disorderly conduct charges following the incident which occurred Tuesday. Police said Bradley had gone to Windham High School - a polling location - to vote in the state's first-in-the-nation presidential primary when he walked by a Trump campaign tent. Bradley then 'slapped a 15-year-old juvenile across the face,' at which point two adults tried to protect the teen, police said, according to Patch. The adults later accused Bradley of assaulting them. During the same incident, 'Bradley was also accused of throwing TRUMP campaign signs and attempting to knock over the aforementioned tent,' police said.

Get your cameras ready. This is a car you may not have expected to see spinning around the Daytona International Speedway: President Trump's official limo, dubbed "The Beast." The 45th president, the first to be named grand marshal of the Daytona 500 by NASCAR, may mark the honor with a lap around the track before Sunday's race, Fox News chief White House correspondent John Roberts reported on Friday. It made its debut in 2018 The presidential limousine was commissioned by the Secret Service in 2014 -- when Barack Obama was still president, according to NBC. It wasn’t unveiled until September 2018, Fox News reported at the time. The previous model made its debut at Obama’s inauguration in 2009. It weighs 22,000 pounds The limo’s nickname “The Beast” is apt, given that it weighs something like 22,000 pounds, NBC reported. According to the website, the doors of “The Beast” are estimated to be eight inches thick, with five-inch windows. The car is also believed to be made with a mix of steel, aluminum and ceramic armors, NBC said. It’s modeled after a Cadillac CT6 Since Ronald Reagan’s administration in the 1980s, presidential limos have been modeled after Cadillacs. Before that, the presidential vehicles were Lincoln limos, according to Business Insider.

President Donald Trump delivered the command for drivers t start their engines ahead of the 62nd Daytona 500 on Sunday. “Daytona International Speedway, we love our country and it’s truly an honor to be with all of you at the Great American Race,” Trump said. “Gentlemen, start your engines.” Before making the command, Trump delivered remarks to the crowd just after 2:30 p.m. ET. He spoke for approximately four minutes at a podium set up in victory lane. “For 500 heart-pounding miles, these fierce competitors will chase the checkered flag, fight for the Harley J. Earl trophy and make their play for pure American glory,” Trump said in those comments. “And that’s what it is. Pure American glory.” In an interview with Fox just before giving the command, Trump said he viewed the Daytona 500 “as almost a patriotism kind of thing.”

President Donald Trump’s campaign manager Brad Parscale tweeted - then deleted - a stunning image of Air Force One behind a large crowd at Florida’s Daytona 500 after Twitter users noted that the image was 16 years old. The tweet, which was posted on Sunday and stayed up for around three hours, was retweeted at least 6,700 times and liked 23,000 times before it was removed, CNN reported. ″@realdonaldtrump won the #Daytona500 before the race even started,” the image was captioned. The picture, which was shot by photographer Jonathan Ferrey in 2004, depicts Air Force One taking off from the Daytona Beach International Airport, which is adjacent to the speedway where the NASCAR race takes place. It was used as a file image in media reports in the lead-up to Trump’s appearance at Sunday’s event, but actually carried former President George W. Bush.

What began as light-hearted fun has once again resulted in a storm of fury across the Twittersphere. Today on Presidents Day, some Trump supporters gathered just outside Walt Disney World property to campaign on behalf of President Trump’s re-election, and they decided to have a little fun with it. Beyond the usual hand-made signs, the MAGA hats and “Trump 2020” flags, some of those supporters got a little extra creative. They took a full-size cut out of Mickey Mouse and dressed him in MAGA gear. Red cap and all. Mickey’s smiling and giving a thumbs up to the drivers who pass by. This appears to be at the Hotel Plaza Blvd Property Entrance. Keep in mind that this is NOT the main Walt Disney World entrance off I-4. This is more-or-less “the back entrance” that takes guests straight to the Disney Springs Resort Area. Just off the property is a plethora of shops and restaurants with parking lots that make it much easier for people to congregate and campaign on this level. Now, the only harm done here is perhaps copyright infringement and false representation as The Walt Disney Company has not openly endorsed any political candidate since Dwight D. Eisenhower. However, that doesn’t stop people from being triggered by the sight of Mickey Mouse smiling in a MAGA hat both for and against.
