President Donald Trump was overwhelmingly cheered by the crowd at the Alabama Crimson Tide vs LSU game this afternoon in Tuscaloosa.

Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were shown on the large video screens as they stood at one of Bryant-Denny Stadium’s luxury boxes. Trump had arrived in Tuscaloosa just before 2 p.m. Saturday aboard Air Force One.

It appeared Trump’s introduction was planned for the game’s first timeout. As the Alabama-LSU game went to commercial, Trump quickly rose from his seat on the second or third row of the luxury box and moved to the front railing with Melania.

Fans near the box had already returned their attention to the box, given that play had stopped on the field. Soon Trump and his wife were shown in the stadium’s four video screens and prolonged applause began, followed by scattered chants of “ USA! USA! USA!” Trump smiled and waved to the crowd.

Republican National Committee Spokesperson Kevin Knoth issued this state at game time. “Much like the scene at today’s football game, Doug Jones’s far-left agenda in Alabama consistently puts the Democrat on the outside looking in while President Trump can always be found in the arena fighting and boosting the Yellowhammer State to new heights.”
