Office of the Press Secretary
REMARKS BY PRESIDENT TRUMP
AT DAYTONA 500 VICTORY LANE WELCOMING CEREMONY
 
Daytona International Speedway
Daytona Beach, Florida
 
February 16, 2020

2:33 P.M. EST

      THE PRESIDENT:   Well, Chip, thank you very much.  And, my fellow race fans, there is no greater thrill than to join you at the World Center of Racing for the 62nd Daytona 500.  So exciting.  (Applause.)
      The Daytona 500 is a legendary display of roaring engines, soaring spirits, and the American skill, speed, and power that we’ve been hearing about for so many years.  The tens of thousands of patriots here today have come for the fast cars and the world-class motor sports, but NASCAR fans never forget that no matter who wins the race, what matters most is God, family, and country.  (Applause.) 
      Joining us today are Gold Star Families whose loved ones made the supreme sacrifice to defend our freedom and our flag.  To Edgar and Jennifer Bill, George Lutz, and Gold Star Families everywhere throughout our land: Your fallen warriors will live in our hearts forever.  Thank you.  (Applause.)  Thank you.  Thank you. 
      We are also grateful to be joined by Staff Sergeant David Bellavia, who I was privileged last year to award the Congressional Medal of Honor.  A very brave man.  Thank you, David.  Thank you, David.  (Applause.)  Thank you.
      This afternoon, we congratulate all of the new enlistees in the United States Armed Forces -- and there are plenty, and they love our county.  A few moments ago, these young men and women took a solemn oath to put their lives on the line for our country.
      To each of them and every service member and veteran here today, as Commander-in-Chief of the greatest fighting force on the planet, a force that just spent $2.5 trillion on rebuilding our military, I want to thank you for your service.  (Applause.)
      Now we approach the moment that you’ve all been waiting for.  Soon the cars will take to the track for the start.  Tires will screech, rubber will burn, fans will scream, and the Great American Race will begin.  For 500 heart-pounding miles, these fierce competitors will chase the checkered flag, fight for the Harley J. Earl Trophy, and make their play for pure American glory.  And that’s what it is: pure American glory.  (Applause.)
      As we wait for the green flag, we give thanks for this beloved country, for the heroes who keep us safe, and for the God who made us free.  (Applause.) 
      To all of the drivers, technicians, and pit crews here today: Good luck and may the best team win.  God bless you.  God bless our military.  God bless our veterans.  And God bless America.  Have a great race.  Thank you.  Thank you.  (Applause.)

Presidential Message on Susan B. Anthony Day, 2020

Office of the Press Secretary
 Presidential Message on Susan B. Anthony Day, 2020

Today, we celebrate the 200th birthday of Susan B. Anthony, a fearless patriot who fought tirelessly so that all Americans could enjoy the many blessings of liberty, regardless of their sex or race.

Susan B. Anthony passionately pursued the right of women to vote and participate in the democratic process.  The groundwork she laid paved the way for the ratification of the 19th Amendment—frequently referred to as the Anthony Amendment—in 1920.  Today, as we celebrate her 200th birthday, we also celebrate a century since the adoption of this historic amendment and the remarkable contributions of women to the strength and success of the United States.  Our country has never been stronger, and, from coast to coast, women who share the same conviction as Susan B. Anthony are helping take our Nation to new heights.

In celebrating Susan B. Anthony, we also pause to recognize her courageous work as an advocate for the sanctity of all human life.  Susan B. Anthony understood that every American has boundless potential, and that we must work to protect the rights of all people, especially the most vulnerable among us.  She will be forever remembered for her fearless work against the scourge of slavery and for her advocacy in favor of civil liberties.  Today, we continue to draw inspiration from her as we work toward a culture that fiercely safeguards the rights of all Americans, while also fostering mutual respect and understanding throughout our society.

Our country’s history is replete with countless brave pioneers and visionaries like Susan B. Anthony who have been instrumental in ensuring the unparalleled prosperity, safety, and success of our Nation.  Today, on the 200th birthday of one of America’s most treasured icons and revered leaders, we applaud the achievements of women, both past and present, who have helped advance opportunities for all Americans.
