President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Sunday to lament the results of Saturday's Kentucky Derby, saying the unprecedented decision to disqualify the initial victor was made possible by"these days of political correctness."."It was a rough and tumble race on a wet and sloppy track, actually, a beautiful thing to watch. Only in these days of political correctness could such an overturn occur.
On Saturday, the initial winner, Maximum Security, was disqualified after officials ruled that the horse interfered with other competitors in the final leg of the race, blocking them from being able to pass. That led to the second-place finisher Country House, a 65-1 long shot, being awarded the victory.
It was the first time in Kentucky Derby history — which stretches back to the late 1800s — that a victor was disqualified under such circumstances.the disqualification was"egregious" and that he might opt to appeal the decision. “I think this is the most egregious disqualification in the history of horse racing, and not just because it’s our horse,” West told the AP.
No Collusion
Because rules/laws dont matter to realDonaldTrump .
In case you haven’t noticed, mr trump is something of an ass.
Now Trump knows everything about horse racing and all the rules.
Are there more important things for Trump to focus on?
He would.
First time in 'history' begs the question, if political correctness did infect the race!!
These days of political correctness code for telling the truth and playing by the rules something Donnie Joe Bob thinks is for losers
Which was shocking that he didn’t side with the 2nd place winner. Because it’s the same result as the 2016 election where the non winner got the prize
Now the whole Left are horse racing experts .🏇 HaHaHa hahaha hahaha!
This is why UNFIT DJT being in the WH is nothing but CHAOS. He's putting his 1 cent in everything except doing right for this country.
He loves cheating so yea
That does it! If politics is involved in the sport of kings it’s demise is eminent. For the average horse player reviewing replays indicated no obstruction. The lengthy delay in the objection indicated they even the stewards couldn’t determine if a foul took place. Politics?
More evidence that there are absolutely no barriers this buffoon won't breach; he's just so presidential ... NOT!
That does it. If politics was involved in
I figure he loss money!
I feel bad for the team and the jockey that lost. But they broke the rules. They were disqualified. He might try to take something from this about breaking rules.
Trump knows about cheating
F Trump
Considering horse racing rules have been in place for a hundred fn years saying 'political correctness ' caused the DQ is delusional as well as ignorant!
Just another thing he knows nothing about
Not trying to agree with Trump (ever), but as a lifelong sports fan, the Kentucky Derby might have been the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. But whatever, nobody will care about horse racing again until next May so who cares...
There should be a penalty less than a disqualification when the fastest horse wins.
Cause he's such an 'EXPERT'--
Yeh, RULES don’t count!
Simple solution for Donald and any of his friends who lost money on Maximum Security - Issue a Presidential Pardon!
No. He took to twitter to add that days top up drip to the anger he needs his base to maintain. And he did so my making an out of context reference to political correctness, a concept they all loathe so much. The race was just a conduit to drip that in. Keep them angry. He has to
Do Americans not see what’s happening? A POTUS who flaunts the rules stickS his nose into the Kentucky Derby, suggesting rules shouldn’t matter? Trump doesn’t do the job we hired him to do, but he has time to comment on something HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT? God help us.
OF COURSE realdonaldtrump lamented the results of the Derby. Trump is ALL ABOUT recognizing the winner, the fastest horse, the person who gets the most popular votes, the... um... waidaminnit...
It's true that the biggest problem in America today is that the best horse did not win the race and the officiating was criminally lousy. I don't think it's in Trump's best interests to bring it up, but, ok, we can go there, Mr. Lost-by-3-million-votes...
realDonaldTrump lost money.
