Donald Trump arrives at the Miami Grand Prix days after having his $250,000-a-ticket fundraiser shut down by race officials

Donald Trump has arrived at the Miami Grand Prix – days after having a $250,000-a-ticket fundraiser at the race shut down by officials.

The former president and Republican candidate was in Florida on Sunday and joined a star-studded crowd of celebrities as Formula One descended on the city once again.

He returned to his Florida HQ on Friday night after another week in New York at his Stormy Daniels hush money trial.

 

Trump, who also attended LIV Golf’s event in Miami last month, was pictured in McLaren’s garage and was deep in conversation with the team’s CEO Zak Brown.

A statement from McLaren read: ‘McLaren is a non-political organization however we recognize and respect the office of President of the United States so when the request was made to visit our garage on race day we accepted alongside the president of the FIA and the CEO’s of Liberty Media and Formula 1.
