Saying this again....The transcript from the press conference where Lando is asked about Trump.
Im going to break it down.
First things first Lando never said it was an honour to meet trump, he said "I guess it was an honour" for Trump to meet him. Thats an important difference.
"He came up to me to congratulate me, so I guess an honour" "It has to be an honour for them to come up to you"
In Landos mind, someone such as a previous president of the United States (i.e them) thought that it was important to wish Lando well and in Landos mind that was cool because he believes you have to work hard to be a president and is thankful that a president saw the "work ethic" that Lando puts into things and decided to congratulate him.
The "got to have a lot of respect for in many ways" is not a great but you can see that Lando is of the mind that an ex- president has to be given respect and no doubt he was briefed by the team to be respectful to Trump.
The "And thats all" is important because Lando does not want to be associated to Trump and wants nothing more to do with him. He was thankful that an ex-president congratulated him and thats all. He was respectful to him because he was an ex-president and thats all.
Finally, Lando has done nothing to suggest he likes Trump. He supported BLM, he supports women in F1. He is respectful of LBGTQ. Not once has he acted badly towards anyone and the fact that not only Lewis but Lewis's dad supports him as well should say enough of who he is as a person.
People need to not put all Trumps shit on Lando here. Lando was not thinking about Trump personally when he said it was an honour, he was thinking about himself and how mad it was that an ex- president thought he was so important and that was the honour.
