Donald Trump and OnlyFans models transform Miami GP into new Bizarro World

Trump was even wheeled out to shake hands with children on a red carpet pre-race, as Fifa president Gianni Infantino watched on, another member of the rogue’s gallery.

Formula One and the Miami race organisers had clearly decided that eyeballs trumped everything, although they were also just as clearly nervous about the possible reaction. Tom Garfinkel, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium, had stressed to journalists earlier in the day that his race was apolitical.

It had been a big talking point in the build-up this year with race organisers having halted a Trump presidential campaign fundraiser being planned for the race, sending a cease-and-desist letter to Trump ally Steven Witkoff, a New York real estate tycoon, telling him he would not be allowed to use a suite at the race to fundraise for the former president.

According to the Washington Post, Witkoff allegedly plotted to host a fundraiser at the Paddock Club rooftop suite, charging potential attendees $250,000 a ticket to attend.

In a letter to Witkoff obtained by the Post, Miami Grand Prix organisers said: “It has come to our attention that you may be using your Paddock Club Rooftop Suite for a political purpose, namely raising money for a federal election at $250,000 a ticket, which clearly violates the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix suite license agreement … If this is true, we regret to inform you that your suite license will be revoked, you will not be allowed to attend the race at any time, and we will refund you in full.”

Witkoff told reporters that, with three American races now on the calendar, competing for bums on seats, his goal for the Miami race was to “bring people together” to create a unique environment. He spoke about a party he attended earlier in the week which summed up what he was trying to achieve.

“You know, there were some of the wealthiest people in the world,” he said. “CEOs of some of the biggest companies in the world. There are NFL players, NBA stars, music stars, you know, and they’re all converging and hanging out spending time again. And we’re all kind of looking at each other. I was with one CEO of a huge bank, and he’s just like, ‘I can’t believe this room’. You know, and he’s been in a lot of rooms, you know what I mean? So it’s really amazing to see people of different ages, backgrounds, skin colour, you know, you got hip hop stars hanging out with CEOs of banks, hanging out with some billionaire, hanging out with, you know, an actress. This is like, it’s bizarro world.” 

He got that last bit right.
