United States President Donald Trump's campaign manager tweeted the photo from 2004 from when former US President George W Bush attended NASCAR's most prestigious race. In order to publicise the Republican president's leadership, Brad Pascale tweeted the wrong photo and said that “Trump won Daytona 500 before it even started”. However, as the internet users pointed out that it was not the case on the ground on February 16 when Trump had attended the event, Pascale deleted the post and then shared the original image with the same caption.

However, even after Pascale's measure to correct the post, the backlash from the netizens did not stop. People had screenshotted the wrong post by Trump's campaign manager and accused him of posting the image from 2004 because in 2020, the stadium was comparatively empty and the image even showcased some empty seats. One of the Twitter users also said that “they lie about everything”. From jokes to anger, netizens were seen criticising the Trump administration for “wasting” taxpayers' money for a “failed campaign”.
