Stadium breaks out into “USA!” chants for Trump
After schmoozing with fans, Trump made way up to his East Skybox Suite, where he walked out to fans and get his first chorus of “USA! USA! USA!” from within the stadium.
Although Trump stole some attention, football continued to take precedence. Crimson Tide football player parents appeared disgruntled by his showing as it prevented a birds-eye view of the game.
Even with an announcement of his attendance over the public address system with 12:40 to go before halftime, it was hard for fans not to take note that an underdog Alabama was up 28-0 with Jalen Milroe’s second touchdown of the evening.
For Crimson Tide fans, there seemed to be one mutual consensus at the end of the day if shirts, gameday pins and the occasional verbal retort were any indication.
It was a collective call to vote not for Trump, but for Alabama’s recently-retired legendary head coach.
“Saban for president.”
