Motorsports legend Danica Patrick has revealed parts of her conversation with Donald Trump aboard Air Force One after one of the president's recent rallies in Michigan.
Patrick recounted her conversation with the Commander in Chief on Instagram earlier this week, with the former IndyCar driver revealing Trump's one-word answer to her question.
Patrick was on the campaign trail for Trump throughout late 2023 and all of 2024, attempting to garner support that led to his victory over Kamala Harris.
'I asked @realdonaldtrump on the flight home from the last rally in Michigan... what is the most important quality of being in office was, and he said..... courage.'
Patrick also revealed another conversation she witnessed with Trump, when he was asked about those trying to come after him and his family in court after his loss in the 2020 Presidential election.
'I love you. Who are you?' Patrick recounted of Trump 'Well, that's just a very nice question. And it is not a setup, I have no idea who you are but I appreciate that. All I can say is that we're for that. I hope so. I hope they're doing things because that election was rigged and stolen, and we can't allow that to happen.'

Patrick asked the president about what is the most important quality of being in office
'You know, a lot of people tell me, "Sir, you just won the greatest election in the history of our country. You won in numbers and all seven swing states, won the popular vote - won every vote, everything. Sir, go on with your life."'
'And the many people that say that good people, friends of mine, many say that same thing: go on with your life, but you have to find out what happened because you can't let that happen again.'
Patrick's support of Trump has been fiercely loyal, including her support of his decision to bomb Iran earlier this month after years of condemning America's involvement in Middle Eastern wars.
Some inside the MAGA camp did not approve, while Patrick stood by Trump. Instead, she doubled down on her support for the President in a series of patriotic online posts following the controversial attack.
'Thank you to all that keep America safe and strong,' Patrick captioned the post, which shows her driving a speed boat with the US flag flapping away in the background.
Patrick included Creedence Clearwater Revival's 'Fortunate Son' with her post, which is less of a patriotic anthem than a protest of privileged Americans avoiding Vietnam War service.
But lest anyone think the song selection was a dig at Trump, who famously missed the Vietnam War with college and medical deferments, Patrick's subsequent post made her allegiance perfectly clear.
'Get in!' read the caption of above an AI-generated image of Trump dressed as a fighter pilot in a jet cockpit. 'We're making the world great again!'
