Former President Donald Trump was widely cheered by the audience of Saturday’s college football game, which was being held between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Georgia Bulldogs.
Trump was greeted with “U.S.A.” chants by attendees of the game when he was near the concession stands, buying some popcorn and throwing it out to the excited crowds. During the game itself, Trump was spotted on the Bryant-Denny Stadium’s jumbotron, prompting the game’s audience to cheer wildly at the sight of the former president.
“Happening now in Tuscaloosa! President Trump shown on the jumbotron at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Alabama,” Trump senior adviser Dan Scavino Jr. wrote on X.
