As Trump said that Nascar’s spirit and his fans “will feed the Golden Age of the United States,” Hogg said that the president’s decision to go to the race was nothing more than a “advertising trick.”
“Driving in circles for a multi -million dollar advertising trick, while affirms that he cares so much the ‘efficiency’, since thousands illegally say goodbye to their work and prices continue to rise is the perfect symbolism for Trump’s administrator,” he wrote HOGG in X.
