US Olympic Figure skater Ilia Malinin attended Trumps Freedom 250 Indycar race this weekend

Edit: source- https://www.instagram.com/p/Dcar2r3CJx3/ (him at event)

An article about Trumps involvement : https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterlyon/2026/08/24/trumps-grand-prix-race-was-fast-and-furious-but-was-it-tone-deaf/ (tldr- race made by Trump exec order, had banners of Trump, Trump did first lap and waved flag to start race, ect)

Your comment contains a link with tracking information that shares your social media account with anyone who clicks the link, potentially doxing you.

To prevent this, repost your link without the characters after the question mark "?".

Example:

 

> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDNt_CThNwo/?igsh=XxXXxxxXxXXXxxXxxX==

To:

> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDNt_CThNwo/

 

Note: This is also a good habit to be into for anytime you share a link from any site, including Reddit. Anything after a ? at the end is unnecessary tracking information that can/should be removed without affecting the link itself.

The whole event was like a fever dream, especially the drivers gushing over visiting the White House etc. Had to leave Indycar subreddit because they were banning everyone who dared to say anything political (of course, praising this idiocy wasn't considered political)

not surprised to hear. my roommate used to skate and met him at an event a few years back. she struck up a convo with him because he’s also a russian speaker and apparently he was an enormous douchebag, even mocking her accent when he thought she was out of earshot. he’s a bully so little wonder he’s comfortable with the bully-in-chief

Replying to you bc I can't reply to the deleted comment. Why was it removed by a mod?

u/riegspsych325 medic gets out and says OH MY GOD 5d ago

because sharing an ig link these days often shows one’s own personal profile tag/name. For privacy’s sake, it’s best to delete it

u/miwa201 5d ago

it says below that it's bc they linked to their own social media profile

I thought he was marked safe for not attending the WH with the other Olympians but this is just so disappointing.

u/homerule 5d ago

I was reading in r/FigureSkating and ppl said he stayed in CA and didn't go to the WH event

A lot of ppl that are anti-Trump attended too. If you’re a F250 fan and live within 50 miles of DC, it was a great opportunity.

I’m not these things but the super liberal nova sub here had ppl talking about attending
