Yes, I think we all know that Mr Trump is a very sensitive subject in the States. I suspect Brian's tongue was firmly in his cheek when he posted the video. And I did have a chortle thinking about the Queen taking a turn before the British Grand Prix. That would be... I dunno... words escape me.
Naturally, during an election year, politicians turn up anywhere they can get a half-decent reception and sympathetic media coverage. And if they can't guarantee a good response, they don't show up. Most of us over here don't hold our politicians in very high regard. That's why - I suspect - we try and keep politics away from sport as much as possible. It's also why at our slot car club, we kindly ask people to leave politics (and religion) at the door... Otherwise it spoils the fun.
