Politics'Pathetic' Donald Trump Accused of Pretending Huge Crowd at NASCAR Event Was Cheering for Him: Watch
Donald Trump was filmed waving toward a cheering crowd at a NASCAR race from behind a trailer and a number of large black vehicles on Sunday, May 26.
The 77-year-old quickly faced backlash from critics on social media who suggested he was purposely staging a video to make it look like the audience was applauding him, rather than the ongoing sports event that occurred on Memorial Day weekend.
Donald Trump made an appearance at a NASCAR race over Memorial Day weekend.
"Trump pulls up to the NASCAR race today and acts like the crowd is cheering for him so his propaganda film crew can do a nice edit later," political pundit Ron Filipkowski wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, next to a video of the incident.
Critics quickly took to the comments section to slam the former POTUS's allegedly sneaky antics.
"Waving and fist boosting to the trailer that hides him from the spectators cheering for the drivers," one user claimed, and a second replied, "What a pathetic f---."
Social media critics called Donald Trump 'pathetic.'
A third added, "Trump is in back at the track, near the urinals," and a fourth responded, "Busted. What a f------ loser."
Another person pointed out, "It’s Memorial Day weekend, the crowd is cheering for the military, not a five-time draft dodger."

Donald Trump was also called out for seemingly randomly saluting throughout the event.
This wasn't the only thing Trump was criticized while attending the high-profile NASCAR race. As OK! previously reported, he was also called out for appearing to be confused and saluting random objects and people throughout the event.
"He’s just walking around saluting everything today. He salutes during Amazing Grace. He’s saluting people. Saluting airplanes," one user said at the time and a second added, "He is catering to everybody and anybody who is willing to pay attention to him….It’s very sad … just wait till what happens to him in November."
Donald Trump's cognitive health has come into question in recent months.
This comes after Trump was accused of struggling cognitively after he was heard slurring his words at a Thursday, May 23, rally in New York.
"It's hard working patri-skfjskl and this is something that you can say and you can say it a million times," he awkwardly told the crowd, seemingly failing to correctly pronounce the word "patriots."

One person on social media claimed the pitch of his voice and Trump's use of "odds sounds and noises" instead of words reminded them of when their father had a stroke and was having cognitive difficulties.
