Story highlights Trump attended the CFP National Championship, where Lamar performed

(CNN) Kendrick Lamar brought his pointed political message to the CFP National Championship halftime show on Monday night, but if fans were hoping to see President Donald Trump's reaction to the performance, they were disappointed.
